Clone uploads information from one Autostar handbox to another. Three options are

available:

■ Catalogs: Sends only user-defined object information, such as new satellite

orbits or comet data to another Autostar handbox.

■ Software: Sends only the basic Autostar software. This is useful if one user has

downloaded a new version of Autostar software from the Meade website

(

www.meade.com) and wants to pass this software along to friends.

■ All: Everything–user-defined information and Autostar software–is sent to anoth-

er Autostar.

Statistics provides basic statistical data about Autostar, including:

■ Characters Free: Shows how much room is available in user-defined object

memory.

■ Version: Shows the current version of the Autostar software.

Reset completely resets Autostar. Most values entered into the menus revert to fac-

tory defaults. Autostar requires initialization after a Reset before proceeding with

observations. See

INITIALIZING AUTOSTAR, page 19.

Surf the Web

One of the most exciting resources for astronomy is the internet. The internet is full

of websites with new images, discoveries, and the latest astronomical information.

For example, when comet Hale-Bopp made its approach to our Sun in 1998,

astronomers around the world posted new photos daily.

You can find websites for almost any topic relating to astronomy on the internet. Try

the following key word searches: NASA, Hubble, HST, astronomy, Messier, satellite,

nebula, black hole, variable stars, etc.

Check out Meade’s website for the latest product and technical information. You can

download the latest software revisions, links to other astronomical sites, coordinates

of celestial objects and the latest satellite tracking information for your Autostar

handset. See page 34 for more information. You’ll find our website at:
