M, NGC, IC keys
By pressing M, NGC, IC keys you will open the corresponding catalogue of celestial objects. Input 
the number of the object you wish to observe with numeric keys.
Press ENTER and you will see the coordinates of the object on the display. Use scroll keys to see 
the information on the object, including its size, magnitude and the corresponding constellation. 
Press ENTER again, and your telescope will automatically locate the object.

PLANET key
The PLANET key opens up the Solar system database. Use scroll keys to choose the desired planet 
and press enter to confirm your selection. After looking at the coordinates on the screen, press

choose an object that you have already saved (for more info, see User database section).

OBJECT key
The OBJECT key grants you access to the full database of over 42,900 celestial objects. 

Utility menu

Utility functions are a simple way to control your SynScan™ AZ directly.
SHOW POSITION will give you the coordinates of the currently observed object.
SHOW INFORMATION will show you the current settings of local and sidereal time, and the 
information on software versions of the database and SynScan™ AZ. If the hand controller is 
connected to the mount, it will also show you the current version of the motor firmware.
PARK SCOPE will bring the telescope tube to the initial (Home) position or memorize the current 
position as Home.
PAE gives you access to the Pointing Accuracy Enhancement function.
CLEAR PAE DATA will delete all the PAE data.

selection by the user. The stars will be listed either alphabetically or by their stellar magnitude.
BACKLASH allows you to input a value for backlash compensation on each rotation axis. For 
precise navigation of your telescope it is important that this value is equal to or greater than the 
actual backlash on the axes. The default value is 0 degrees, 0 arcminutes, 0 arcseconds (0d 00’ 
00’’). Use numeric keys to input the values and move to the next digit with the right direction 
key. Calibrate the R.A. axis first. Press ENTER to confirm and calibrate the Dec. axis.
