Alex,
This is an extract from my manual... hope it helps (it may not be under scope setup)... I can't be sure but, if it is like my Meade, the precise goto function is either enabled or disabled (the manual extract below is not clear on this) & if enabled, uses it for everything thereafter...
Precise GoTo
The Advanced Series telescopes have a precise goto function that can
assist in finding extremely faint objects and centering objects closer to
the center of the field of view for astrophotography and CCD imaging.
Precise Goto automatically searches out the closest bright star to the desired object and asks
the user to carefully center it in the eyepiece. The hand control then calculates the small
difference between its goto position and its centered position. Using this offset, the
telescope will then slew to the desired object with enhanced accuracy. To use Precise Goto:
1. Press the MENU button and use the Up/Down keys to select Precise Goto.
· Choose Database to select the object that you want to observe from any of the
database catalogs listed or;
· Choose RA/DEC to enter a set of celestial coordinates that you wish to slew to.
2. Once the desired object is selected, the hand control will search out and display the
closest bright star to your desired object. Press ENTER to slew to the bright
alignment star.
3. Use the direction buttons to carefully center the alignment star in the eyepiece.
4. Press ENTER to slew to the desired object.
