Ich habe mir mal bei MEADE das Manual runtergeladen:

Ist das eins der Telekope, welches Du nun hast?
So sollte der Ablauf sein beim "Easy Align":
How to Easy Align Your Telescope
If you have just applied power to Autostar, perform steps 1 through 5. If you have already performed the initialization procedure, go to step 6.
1. Sun Warning - Press the key prompted by Autostar to accept.
2. Getting Started - Press ENTER to continue.
3. Enter Date - Enter the current date as previously described, then press ENTER.
4. Enter Time - Enter the current time, as previously described. Select "AM," "PM," or 24-hour
clock (blank). Then press ENTER.
5. Daylight Savings - Select “Yes” or “No,” then press ENTER.
6. Alignment Option Screen - “Setup: Align” displays. Press ENTER.
7. Select Alignment - “Align: Easy” displays. Press ENTER.
8. Set Alt/Az Home Position - Autostar then prompts you to set the telescope in the Alt/Az
Alignment home position. To set your telescope in the "Alt/Az" home position (Fig. 16):
• Loosen the telescope’s Altitude lock (10, Fig. 1).
• Level the tripod base (23, Fig.1). Level the optical tube to the horizon.
• Tighten the Altitude lock (Fig. 17) to a firm feel only.
• Loosen the tripod base lock knob (26, Fig. 1) and turn the telescope horizontally until
it points North. See LOCATING THE CELESTIAL POLE, page 35 for more information.
• Tighten the tripod base lock knob (26, Fig. 1). Press ENTER.
9 . Star Alignment - Autostar then chooses two stars to align upon. When the telescope
slews to the first star for alignment, it may not appear in the field of view in the eyepiece.
The alignment star should be easily recognized and be the brightest star in the area of the
sky where the telescope is pointing. Use the Arrow keys to move the telescope until the
star is visible and centered in the eyepiece. Press ENTER. Repeat procedure for the second alignment star.
When the procedure is performed correctly, "Alignment Successful" displays. If Autostar
does not display this message, perform this procedure again.
NOTE: Autostar locates alignment stars based on the date, time, and location
entered. The alignment stars may change from night to night. All that is required is
for the observer to center the selected stars in the eyepiece when prompted.
NOTE: The GO TO key also allows you to perform a "spiral search." A spiral search
is useful when the telescope slews to an object, but that object is not visible in the
eyepiece after the telescope finishes
its search. (This sometimes occurs
during an alignment procedure.)
Press GO TO when the slew is finished and the telescope starts slewing in a spiral pattern at a very slow
speed around the search area. Look
through the eyepiece and when the
object does become visible, press
MODE to stop the spiral search.
Then use the Arrow keys to center
the object.
Two other methods of alignment are available to the observer: Two-Star and OneStar. These methods are included in case
the observer prefers to pick out his or her
own alignment stars.
DS-2000 TIPS
Which One’s the
Alignment Star?
If Autostar has chosen an alignment star with
which you are unfamiliar, how can you be
sure if the star in your eyepiece is really the
alignment star?
