Your First Altazimuth Initialization and Goto Run

create a scroll file called startup.scr composed of these commands:

data_file bstars.dat
1i
trackon
data_file bstars.dat
2i
move_file messier.dat
prompt finished

the first command says to find an object from the bright star data file
the second command says to initialize position #1 using the star's coordinates
the third command turns on tracking
the fourth command says to find another object from the bright star data file
the fifth command says to initialize position #2 using the star's coordinates
the sixth command says to move to a Messier object
and the last command displays a 'finished' statement indicating that the scroll file has finished

a. run scope.exe with the following command

scope -x startup.scr

this says to run scope and execute the scroll file startup.scr

b. answer 3. adopt no alignment and start from scratch and turn on the power supply to the motors when instructed

e. after centering, execute the next scroll command to initialize position #1 via the left mode key or the '<' key on the keyboard
f. execute the next scroll command, setting up tracking to start as soon as the 2nd initialization is accomplished
g. move onto the next scroll command using handpad left mode switch or keyboard '<', and select the 2nd object from the bstars.dat file
h. center the telescope on the 2nd star by using the handpad as before
i. after centering, execute the next scroll command to initialize position #2 via the left mode key or the '<' key on the keyboard
j. now move onto the next scroll command and select an object from the messier.dat file; the scope will slew to it
k. finish by moving on to the last scroll command which displays the finish command
l. exit the scroll function by pressing any key
