Saving Power
You may want to leave your aligned Ultima 2000 running for extended periods. One example is to leave the aligned
telescope ON all night so you can do some daytime observing. There are many stars that can be seen in the day as well as
some planets. Jupiter is easily seen through a telescope in the day. But to do this you need to leave the telescope on all
night. There are some steps you can take to minimize battery consumption. You need to turn off the tracking motors.
There is no reason to have the motors running if you are not looking through the telescope. Also you can turn off the hand
control. This will save battery power because the LED is off. Doing this does not upset the telescope’s alignment. Here
is how to do it.
