CGE tracking question

Hi
A question for the CGE users out there.
Can the equatorial tracking on the CGE be switched on without having to go through a star alignment?
The reason I ask is that the equatorial tracking of the mount for visual use is just fine using a rough line of sight polar alignment (and its quick). If you just want to look at one object in the evening, say the moon, and don't want the bother of a 2-4 star alignment, can the equatorial tracking be activated using the keypad (and the mount simply moved and locked manually to the target)?

Yes, John. Easy.

Just press

Menu->Tracking->Eq-North.

The scope will track anything its pointed at. The 2 star calibration only comes into play if you need to use goto.

Hi John,

Once you press menu Button. Press mode EQ north then go to tracking and you will get 3 tracking Speeds one for the Stars one for the Moon and one for the Sun. Just point and image.
