Windscreen
|
The 36" windscreen is a slit cover that will extend about 1/3 of the way up the slit. Like many windscreens of this type, it works in low wind speed when a windscreen is often not necessary. It is normally parked in the down position. The windscreen controls are on the desk (Figure 1) and on the paddle (Figure 2). The desk control is a toggle switch that can be set in the up or down position and left there if the resulting maximum or minimum height is the desired position. If one wishes to leave the screen part way up then the screen switch will have to placed back into the stop (neutral) position. From the telescope, the buttons are on a paddle and will move the windscreen until they are released. The windscreen may have to be adjusted to prevent it from occluding the telescope as the telescope tracks. |
 Figure 1: Desk control panel, the windscreen control is in the middle top, just above the dome rotation switch.
