Now you are aligned to two terrestrial objects. You can slew back and forth between them and you can also define NEW
objects 3-27 as other terrestrial objects. But when you define other objects, you can skip the align operations because you
are already aligned. If you want to view these same terrestrial objects after turning off the telescope, you need to align to
any two NEW objects. It is important to make a note for yourself which terrestrial object is in what NEW memory
position if you plan on aligning to them again later. It is also important that the telescope is set up in the same location so
the relative positions of the terrestrial objects have not changed.
EARTH - Terrestrial Alignment to User Defined NEW Objects
Let’s say you have previously defined a few terrestrial objects of interest that you would like to align the Ultima 2000 to
again. Since the objects are already in the user defined NEW database, all you have to do is align the telescope to any
two of them. Here is how.
