StarNavigator Look into the Future The Audiostar Date menu option in the Setup menu is much more than just an entry of today's date; with it you can look far into the future or learn about past events. Audiostar can calculate the date and times of future events and, except for eclipses, past events as well (based on the current calendar system). E.g., a Sunrise on March 6, 2043 A.D. or the Vernal Equinox in 1776 A.D. To use this feature, enter the desired date in the Setup menu and select an option in the Event menu. Audiostar can calculate dates and times for Sunrises, Sunsets, Moonrises, Moonsets, Moonphases, Solar and Lunar Eclipses (for the next 100 years), meteor showers, equinoxes and solstices, and the minimums of Algol. One very practical use of the date menu is to check the Sunset option to determine when you can begin your astronomical observing. Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving. 31
