Instruction Manual

Parts overview

b Declination (Dec.): Controls the manual movement of the telescope.

Turning the Dec. lock counterclockwise unlocks the telescope enabling

it to be freely rotated by hand about the Dec. axis. Turning the Dec. lock

clockwise (to a firm feel only) tightens the lock and prevents the telescope

from being moved manually, but engages the Dec. motor drive (see

1* Fig.

1a) for Handbox operations.

C Polar Viewfinder Cap: Remove this cap when using the polar viewfinder

(see

1# Fig. 1a).

d Dec. Setting Circle: See APPENDIX A, page 34, for more information.

e Counterweight Shaft Base: Thread, along with the shaft, to the mount.

See page 11 for more information.

f 

Counterweight and Counterweight Lock Knob: Counterbalances the

weight of the optical tube, and adds stability to the mount. Tighten the lock

knob on the side of the counterweight to a firm feel to prevent the weight from

sliding on the shaft.

Counterweight Shaft: Slide the counterweight onto this shaft (see G Fig. 1a).

h Counterweight Safety Cap: Prevents the counterweight from accidentally

slipping off the end of the counterweight shaft.

i Computer Control Panel (see Fig. 1a):

Handbox (HBX) Port: Plug the handbox coil cord (7, Fig. 2) into this port.

12v DC Power Connector: optional power connector (Art. No. 49-30000).

C. LED: Illuminates when power is supplied to the handbox and the

telescope’s motor drive.

ON/OFF Switch: Turns the Computer Control Panel and handbox ON or OFF.

E. AUX Port:

Provides connection for future accessories.

F. Dec Port:

Plug the coil cord from the Dec. motor assembly into this

port for the handbox to control the motor drive.

j

Right Ascension (R.A.) Motor Drive Assembly: Controlled by the handbox.

Moves the optical tube along the R.A. axis. The R.A. Lock (see

1& Fig. 1a) must

be tightened to a firm feel in order for the R.A. motor to operate.

1) Latitude Adjustment T-Handles (2): Sets the latitude of your observing

location. The two T-handle screws work in a „push - pull“ operation—as

you tighten one, loosen the other.

1! Fine Azimuth Control Knobs: Fine tune the side-to-side movement of the

telescope when centering Polaris in the telescope eyepiece or when using

the polar alignment viewfinder (see

1# Fig. 1a).

1@ Latitude Dial: Set the latitude of the observing site on this dial using the

latitude T-handle screws. For more information see Step 4, page 10.

1# Polar Alignment Viewfinder: Allows you to precisely polar align the tele-

scope. Useful when performing astrophotography. See page 31.

1$ Polar Alignment Viewfinder Reticle and LED Knob: Rotate the knob to

switch on or off the LED that illuminates the reticle within the polar align-

ment finder. Be sure to turn off the LED when finished with the polar view-

finder. Powered by (factory-supplied) batteries contained within.

1% R.A. Setting Circle: See APPENDIX A, page 29, for more information.

1^ R.A. Setting Circle Lock Knob: Rotate the knob to lock the R.A. Setting

Circle (see

1% Fig. 1a) in place.

1& R.A. Lock: Controls the manual movement of the telescope. Turning the

R.A. lock counterclockwise unlocks the telescope enabling it to be freely

rotated by hand about the R.A. axis. Turning the R.A. lock clockwise (to

a firm feel only) tightens the lock and prevents the telescope from being

moved manually, but engages the R.A. motor drive (see

J Fig. 1a) for

Handbox operations.

1* Dec. Motor Drive Assembly: Controlled by the handbox. Moves the opti-

cal tube along the Dec. axis. The Dec. Lock (see

b Fig. 1a) must be tight-

ened to a firm feel in order for the Dec. motor to operate.

Attention:

Please handle this product

with care. Damages, which

resulted from inappropriate

use, may void the warranty.

Caution When loosening

the Dec. lock, be sure to

support the optical tube

(18, Fig. 1a). The weight of

the tube could cause the

tube to swing suddenly.
