Attaching the Finder Bracket
Place the finder bracket leg on the finder
base on the main tube and lock it firmly
with two cap-bolts, using 4mm hex wrench
provided. Set the finder scope so that it is as
parallel to the main tube as possible. Failure
to do so can make alignment difficult.
◆
Setting the Telescope on the Mount
Set the tube holder on the tube holder base
with two cap-bolts, and then place the tube
assembly on the tube holder and lock the
tube holder with the clamp after balancing
the tube assembly. The tube holder can be
used with all Takahashi mounts. If using this
equipment for astro-imaging, the heavier
duty the mount, the better.
