| Home Telescope |
| POCO's Home Telescope function calibrates the telescope's position encoders by moving
the telescope past the RA and Dec encoder fiducials at various speeds for increasingly precise
calibration. The axes may be homed individually or both simultaneously.
Homing is not routinely required, and should only be done if you are certain that the telescope
encoders have lost their positions. Before homing, check steps 1-5 in the
Object Not Found help panel.
To initiate a homing sequence for either or both axes, click one or both Slew Home
buttons. The rest of the sequence is automatic, lasting several minutes. The widget displays the progress
of the homing sequence, displaying the state "1 - Axis is Homed" when completed. The homing sequence may
be aborted with the Stop Motion button. |
