Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.

Attach the mounting arm assembly
: Place the
mounting arm assembly into the tripod base.
Reach underneath and thread the mounting knob
through the tripod base and into the mounting
arm assembly. Tighten to a firm feel only, do not
overtighten. While observing, you may wish to
slightly loosen this knob and rotate the mounting
arm assembly with attached optical tube (
see
step #6 below) around the horizontal axis.

Attach the optical tube:
Place the base of the
optical tube (A) over the slot on the mounting
plate (B). Thread the two lock knobs (C) through
the slot on the mounting plate and into the screw
holes in the base of the optical tube, so that they
hold the optical tube loosely; do not tighten the
lock knobs at this point. Slide the tube back and
forth until you find a position where the tube
remains horizontal (
i.e., without tipping up and
down). Then tighten the lock knobs to a firm feel.

Next, attach the mounting plate to the
mounting arm.
Line up the mounting plate with
the mounting arm shaft. Replace the four screws

as depicted in the diagram #3.

Attach the Mounting Plate:
If your telescope did
not come with the mounting plate already
attached, remove 4 screws from the mounting
arm shaft. Remove the screws using a "+"
(Phillips head) screwdriver. Loosen the Altitude
Lock (see
Fig. 1a, page 6
) and rotate the mount-
ing arm shaft counter-clockwise until it stops.
Retighten the Altitude lock.
