Page 7 USING YOUR COMPUTER If you wish to start using your MAX computer immediately without reading through the ma nual, or you just want a quick refresher course, please refer to the Quick-Start Guide found in Appendix E. The MAX computer has several mode s, or applications to enhance your observing time.
Page 8 the star you are pointing at is indeed the one selected in the MAX computer. For indoor familiarization, t he alignm ent process may be simulated to allow access to additio nal modes (attempting to select some modes b efore the alignment process ha s been completed will result in a STAR SIGHTINGS ARE REQUIRED message).
Page 9 To add an object to the NEW catalog, enter the CATALOG mode and use the UP/DOWN button s until NEW01 is displayed. After pressing ENTER, sele ct the object number you wish to modify (01-28). Once you have ENTERed the number, the current coordinates are di splayed (if defining for the first time, 2400-000 will appear).
Page 10 of eight, then only objects of magnitude 8.0 or brighter will be found. The limiting magnitude rang e is from one (bright) to 17 (faint). Those objects which do not have a magnitude defined are only found with a limit of 17.
