Greetings to you there in beautiful España!

Firstly, thanks to John for his follow-up.

When used with the ServoCAT, Argo Navis has its own set of encoders so that
it can maintain position even when the ServoCAT is switched off or even if the
cable releases that engage the motors are disengaged.

By leaving the Argo Navis powered on, it will maintain alignment.

When leaving the scope idle for an extended period time, it is advisable
to at least disengage the cables that engage the motors. This will prevent the
scope from moving as the system tracks.

When the Argo Navis display shows one of the top level menu selections
(e.g. MODE ALIGN, MODE ALIGN STAR, MODE CATALOG, etc.) then you
can be sure that the unit is using the least amount of power. The operating system
puts the CPU into a low power sleep mode when there is no processing to perform.
