The Joystick
In addition to homing the mount, the joystick is used to manually move the Paramount
GT-1100S. It also has a built-in LED flash light for use at the telescope.
Moving the Paramount with the Joystick
Left and right motion moves the telescope in Right Ascension and up and down motion
moves the telescope it in declination. The speed of the mount will increase the further the
joystick is moved from the center position. A total of 16 different speeds are traversed as
you move the joystick from center all the way to the edge. The first two are slower than
sidereal rate, and they increase up to the maximum speed, as entered in the MKS-3000
Setup Dialog.
Software Bisque’s MKS-3000 Control System
The MKS-3000 Control System Dialog Box
The “factory” defaults for the Paramount’s control system allow operation right out of the
box, and typically there is no need to make changes to these settings. However, the control
system is very powerful and offers many options, so the default setting of many functions
can be altered.
