exit the alignment procedure any time by pressing the ESC key.
Hint: For best results, select two stars that are at least 60 degrees apart in azimuth. The more distance between the two alignment stars,
the more accurate your alignment will be. Choosing two stars with similar height above the horizon will also create better results.
Hint: Your alignment is stored in the hand control even after the power has been turned off. You will only need to perform the star
alignment once as long as these two requirements are met:
The telescope is moved to a home position (park the telescope) before turning off the power
.
The telescope setup, including the mount has not been moved. Changing the accessories is acceptable as long as it is done with great
caution. When the hand control is turned on again, make sure the time entered during the initial setup is based on the same source as
when the alignment was originally completed.

Note: Since the Daytime Alignment only uses one object as a reference, your go-to pointing accuracy will not be as accurate as with the
other two alignment methods, but it will give you the ability to track objects such as the Moon and bright planets. Go-to commands will
probably not place objects in your eyepiece eld of view, but should get them in a wide nderscope eld of view. Note that the visibility of
planets in the daytime will depend on the transparency of the atmosphere, as well as the angle between the object and the Sun.
