How to align Polar Axis (use peep holes)
Install the unit to the head firmly.
When setting up the tripod, please make sure one tripod leg and the unit face north.
Also, to prevent the tripod from falling over do no extend the tripod legs more than you
need. When using a short tripod, please spread and extend each tripod leg as much as
possible to prevent the tripod from falling.
Polaris is a bright star that shines at north, and there are Big Dipper and Cassiopeia in the
neighborhood.
To find the Polaris area;
• Locate two outer stars in the bowl of the Big Dipper.
Just draw a line between these two stars and extend it out about 5 times, and you
eventually will reach the vicinity of Polaris.
There is a Polaris around five times the line connecting the star in the middle of the W and
the intersection of the lines extended.
Depend on the season, time and place, one of constellation may not be observed.
In the Northern hemisphere, you can use peep holes to match the polar axis.
Using indicator groove, point the head toward Polaris.
Move the head so that the Polaris will come in the peep hole (L).
Then, move the head to confirm Polaris is visible in the peep hole (S).
For smooth and easy operation, optional Micro Motion Head [MH-100] is ideal product.
