3.
Place the end of one of the slow motion knobs over the shaft and tighten the thumb screw on the
side.
4.
Do the same for the declination slow motion shaft located just above the dec setting circle.
Attaching the Optical Tube (G-3 optical tube)
Before you attach the optical tube, make sure that the declination and right ascension locking knobs are
tight. The optical tube attaches to the mount via the ¼" x 20 photo mounting platform, which must be
attached to the top of the mount. To attach the photo mounting platform:
1.
Locate the ¼" x 20 photo mounting platform.
2.
Remove the two bolts from the bottom of the mounting platform.
3.
Place the mounting platform on top of the telescope mount, aligning the holes with those on the
mount.
4.
Insert the bolts from underneath the telescope mount and thread them back into the mounting
platform.
To mount the G-3 telescope tube:
1.
Locate the square mounting block at the bottom of the G-3 optical tube. It will have a threaded
hole in the center of it for mounting to the tripod.
2.
Place the optical tube over the photo mounting platform with the corrector plate end opposite of
the declination slow motion knob.
3.
Align the threaded hole over the portion of the 1/4"x 20 bolt that is exposed above the mounting
platform.
4.
Turn the black knob (located below the photo mounting platform) counterclockwise to secure the
optical tube to the mount.
Note: You may attach your optical tube to any heavy duty photo tripod (via the optical tube's mounting
block) if desired.

ttaching the Optical Tube (G-5 optical tube)
Before you attach the optical tube, make sure that the declination and right ascension locking knobs are
tight. The optical tube attaches to the mount via the mounting platform located at the top of the mount and
the mounting block attached to the bottom of the G-5 optical tube.
1.
Locate the rectangular mounting block at the bottom of the G-5 optical tube. It will have two
threaded holes used for mounting to the tripod.
2.
Place the optical tube over the mounting platform with the corrector plate end opposite of the
declination slow motion knob.
3.
Align the two threaded holes with the two holes on the top of the mounting platform.
4.
Insert one of the mounting screws from the bottom of the mounting platform into the hole on the
opposite side of the declination slow motion knob. Only thread the screw about two rotations into
the optical tube's mounting block.
