[. . . ] Hibernate - Hibernate allows the telescope to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on. This not only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long periods of time. To place your telescope in Hibernate mode: 1. Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER. Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode. Once the telescope is powered on again the display will read Wake Up. After pressing Enter you have the option of scrolling through the time/site information to confirm the current setting. Press ENTER to wake up the telescope. Pressing UNDO at the Wake Up screen allows you to explore many of the features of the hand control without waking the telescope up from hibernate mode. To wake up the telescope after UNDO has been pressed, select Hibernate from the Utility menu and press ENTER. Do not use the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode. Helpful Hint Turn On/Off GPS - If using your Advanced GT telescope with the optional CN-16 GPS accessory (see Optional Accessories section of the manual), you will need to turn the GPS on the first time you use the accessory. If you want to use the telescope's database to find the coordinates of a celestial object for a future or past dates you would need to turn the GPS off in order to manually enter a time other than the present. 27 ADVANCED GT MENU TRACKING MODE EQ NORTH EQ SOUTH OFF RATE SIDEREAL SOLAR LUNAR VIEW TIME-SITE SCOPE SETUP SETUP TIME-SITE ANTI-BACKLASH FILTER LIMITS DIRECTION BUTTONS GOTO APPROACH AUTOGUIDE RATE AZIMUTH LIMITS EAST/WEST FILTERING UTILITIES CALIBRATE GOTO HOME POSITION POLAR ALIGN LIGHT CONTROL FACTORY SETTING VERSION GET ALT-AZ GOTO ALT-AZ HIBERNATE TURN ON/OFF GPS USER OBJECTS GOTO SKY OBJ SAVE SKY OBJ ENTER RA & DEC SAVE LAND OBJ GOTO LAND OBJ GET RA-DEC GOTO RA-DEC IDENTIFY SELECT CATALOG PRECISE GOTO GOTO TYPE ALIGNMENT START-UP PROCUDURE SET TO INDEX ENTER TIME DLS/ST TIME ZONE ENTER DATE- MM/DD/YY ENTER LONG/LAT AUTO ALIGN CENTER STAR 1 CENTER STAR 2 CENTER STAR 3 LIST NAMED STAR NAMED OBJECT ASTERISM TOUR VARIABLE STAR DOUBLE STAR CCD OBJECTS ABELL IC CATALOG CALDWELL MESSIER NGC SAO SOLAR SYSTEM CONSTELLATION AUTO THREE-STAR ALIGN SELECT STAR 1 CENTER STAR 1 SELECT STAR 2 CENTER STAR 2 SELECT STAR 3 CENTER STAR 3 LAST ALIGNMENT QUICK-ALIGN 28 A telescope is an instrument that collects and focuses light. The nature of the optical design determines how the light is focused. Some telescopes, known as refractors, use lenses. Other telescopes, known as reflectors, use mirrors. Developed in the early 1600s, the refractor is the oldest telescope design. It derives its name from the method it uses to focus incoming light rays. The refractor uses a lens to bend or refract incoming light rays, hence the name (see Figure 4-1). Early designs used single element lenses. However, the single lens acts like a prism and breaks light down into the colors of the rainbow, a phenomenon known as chromatic aberration. To get around this problem, a two-element lens, known as an achromat, was introduced. Each element has a different index of refraction allowing two different wavelengths of light to be focused at the same point. Most two-element lenses, usually made of crown and flint glasses, are corrected for red and green light.
