What to do if the "Go to" button is inactive?

Please ensure you follow all the steps of the Quick Start Guide.

If the Goto button is disabled, it means that your telescope has not yet been oriented or that the selected object is not within the visible sky area (for example, below the horizon). 

1. First, check whether the LED is blue or red (What Do LED Colors Mean?). If so, your telescope is ready to use. Also make sure you are the operator.

2. Press the Observe button .

3. Press Move and use the joystick to move your telescope until you can see stars in the live view.

4. When you see stars on the screen (on a clear, dark night), go back and run the telescope orientation.

The orientation uses your device’s GPS to let the telescope know where it is pointing before accepting the Goto command.

5. Next, select the desired object from the catalog: the “Goto” button becomes active.
