Before mounting the telescope onto an Equatorial mount you must first attach the tube rings around the tube:
1. Loosen the two Tube Ring Locking Clamps on the tube ring assembly. See Figure 1-1.
2. Open the tube rings and place the telescope tube inside the rings so that the dovetail mounting bar is positioned at the bottom of
the telescope tube.
It may be necessary to extend the lens shade to make room for the tube rings. To extend the lens shade:
3. Loosen locking screws on the silver ring around the lens shade (See Figure 1-1).
4. Fully extend the lens shade and re-tighten the locking screws.
