When Equinox Pro launches for the first time it builds the database, establishes the default preferences and sets up the Home location according to the Mac location information. The first thing you should do is go to the Preferences panel and set up your observing site information (Preference panel/Setup tab). You can open the Preferences panel from the Equinox Pro menu or with command+comma. Equinox Pro always starts up at the current date, start up time and Home location, so these are the values you should enter first. Select the Home radio button and enter the name you want to use for your Home location. If you know your latitude and longitude you can enter that directly or you can select a city from the cities lists. Once all the location information is entered hit the Save button. If you have other sites, select another site with the radio buttons, make your entries and save. You can delete a site by selecting it with its radio button, deleting the name and hitting the Save button.

If you wish to go to a location but not save it as one of your site locations, unselect the site radio buttons by clicking on the currently selected button. All the site names will become disabled. Click on a city or enter a new latitude and longitude and hit the Go To button. From this Setup tab you can also establish what clock time Equinox Pro will use at start up. If you check Startup R/T Equinox Pro will start up at the current Mac clock time. You can also select a startup direction for the sky display. The options available are Metric Units (or Imperial), do you want the control panels to be transparent or solid, display twilight and daylight shadings or remain dark regardless of the time, enable communication with AstroPlanner, Starmap (iPhone/iPod touch) or Stark-Labs PHD and whether or not to see the tool tips. Select Custom Horizon if you want to use your own horizon shape or Photo Horizon if you have created a panorama image of your horizon.

Equinox Pro displays will scroll with mouse scroll wheels or you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard. The Arrow/Scroll Speed setting adjusts how fast the scroll wheel or arrow keys will scroll the display. If you use the scroll wheel or arrow keys with the option key, up/down motion will change the viewing angle and left/right motion will change the time.
