Lunt zonnetelscoop

[Marc jacobs]

Hoi,

Ik heb een SolarQuest lunt zonnefilter telescoop.

het uitlijnen gebeurt niet, nieuwe batterijen ingedaan, rood lichtje brand, de telescoop gaan naar horizontale positie en stijgt een  beetje richting zon maar de zon is niet te zien in de telescoop.

wat zou ik verkeerd doen?

 

mvg

Hi,

I have a SolarQuest lunt solar filter telescope.

the alignment does not happen, new batteries are inserted, the red light is on, the telescope moves to horizontal position and rises a little towards the sun, but the sun cannot be seen in the telescope.

what would i do wrong?

The adverts say

"" Just roughly level the tripod and point your solar telescope anywhere to the left of the sun and let Sky-Watcher's revolutionary HelioFind™ Solar Alignment Technology automatically do the rest!! At the single push of a button, the telescope will be auto-levelled and the mount via GPS data fixing will calculate the altitude and azimuth of the sun based on the time and location. The telescope will then be pointed to the correct altitude and the mount will slew clockwise hunting for the sun. The Solar Sensor will detect the sun and lock onto it, and will silently track and keep it within the eyepiece's field of view indefinitely."

Also:

" The first time you use your own telescope, a one-time calibration is required.

This requires you to power off, press the eight-position switch to the upper-left position, power on and finally power off again.

The initial pointing accuracy may be off slightly but is easily corrected using the eight-way slider.

Once done, the correction can be stored by simply double-pressing the power button."
