8. Loosen the two thumbscrews located at the
top of the mount to allow the optical tube
mounting rings to be inserted in the groove.
Place the optical tube mounting rings into the
groove and tighten the large thumbcrew until
the end of the screw is snug against the optical
tube mounting ring base. Tighten the small
screw against the optical tube mounting ring
base to add stability to the moounting rings.
9. Open optical tube mounting rings by
loosening thumbscrews on side of mount-
ing rings. Lift the optical tube assembly by
the attached handle near the focuser and
set it into the optical tube mounting rings,
guiding it with your other hand. Close the
optical tube mounting rings and retighten the
thumbscrews on the mounting rings to secure
optical tube assembly.
10. Remove nuts from finderscope mount-
ing bolts near the focuser on the optical tube
assembly. Slide finderscope mount over the
bolts and replace nuts, turning them until they
are snug against the finderscope mount.
11. Loosen finderscope mounting screws
until finderscope can be easily slid into the
mount. Slide finderscope into the mount and
retighten mounting screws so that finderscope
is approximately aligned with the telescope.
