Your First Equatorial Initialization and Goto Run

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

trackon
data_file bstars.dat
reset_equat
move_file messier.dat
prompt finished

the first command turns on tracking
the second command says to find an object from the bright star data file
the third command says to reset the telescope's position to the object's position
the fourth command says to move to a Messier object
and the last command displays a 'finished' statement indicating that the scroll file has finished

run scope.exe with the following command

scope -x startup.scr

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

answer 1. adopt an equatorial alignment and turn on the power supply to the motors when instructed

start the scroll file by pressing the left mode key on the handpad or the 'B' key on the keyboard
as you do so, tracking will start
move onto the next scroll command via the left mode key or the '<' key on the keyboard which loads and displays the bstars.dat file, where you pick a nearby bright star
now center the telescope on the star using the handpad slew and microstepping speed switch and the four direction buttons
after centering, move onto the next scroll command via the left mode key or the '<' key on the keyboard which resets the telescope's coordinates to the star's coordinates
now move onto the next scroll command using handpad or keyboard, and select an object from the messier.dat file; the scope will slew to it
finish by moving on to the last scroll command which displays the finish command
exit the scroll function by pressing any key
