CELESTRON 127MM SLT TELESCOPE

[BATUHAN DERELI]

Hello ,

I am physics student in Turkey . I have used telescopes but they were manual mount because  of that  I do not have any experiences with GO TO  mounts . I upload photos  and I pressed alignment button before finding 3 or 2 stars .  Still  ı did not  find any stars from  catalog  . I really watched many  videos but I did not do it well  my  process  still not  continue . 12 photos  I upload , first  photo teleskop , last photo is the  my  last step ,  which button should  I have press?

Do a  3-star align (Sirius, Betelgeuse and Capella for example) and it should be fine.  However...for starters...I would do the steps "in order" as per the tutorial instructions and I think you be fine for the SLT alignment.....

I bought one of these, and I soon figured out how to use it,  just by following the manual.

A couple of comments: The three-star align is for people who can't identify any of the three bright stars but are able to aim the telescope at them.

It is actually easier and quicker to do a two-star align, but this requires you to be able to identify some of the brighter stars by name.

Entering the latitude, longitude and time zone in the correct format often catches out beginners.  Your photograph shows 'daylight saving' which you probably should not select in January.
