It is best to set up the telescope in twilight

or before sunset the ﬁrst time you use

the ETX-LS. Take the telescope and tripod

outside. Set the telescope in a large open

area where you can see lots of sky. Don’t

setup right next to a building or

a wall. Also try to stay away from

large metal objects like a car or

a metal fence. Make sure the ground is

stable and is approximately level. It is best to

set up the scope away from bright nighttime

lighting. Bright lights will spoil your night

vision and impede your ability to see the sky.

Additionally, it will take the telescope longer

to align itself if there are too many bright

lights around.

ETX-LS begins moving, rotates to

find Magnetic North and level, slews

to and verifies guide star(s).
