Instruction Manual
Congratulations on the purchase of the new Omegon® Push+ Mini mount. This mount with a dual encoder-system is compatible with most telescopes equipped
with a Vixen-Style dovetail. The Dobson-style telescope mount reads the absolute encoders positions and transmits this information via Bluetooth® to a
smartphone, tablet or computer. A dedicated software or app is required to interpret the encoder information and display it on screen allowing the user to
calibrate and search for deep-sky objects.
1. Parts
The Omegon® Push+ Mini Mount is supplied pre-assembled, no additional assembly is necessary. Please take some time to identify the
different mount parts in the figures above.
2. First align indexes, than power!
The Push+ technology relies on absolute encoders. The
encoders have been previously calibrated based on a set of
Altitude and Azimuth indexes. Please align indexes (as shown
on the right) with the mount unpowered. Only after the
indexes alignment is made should you power your mount using
the supplied cable.
3. Mounting the telescope tube to the Push+ base.
First thing to do is to rotate the dovetail knobs (part 1) to the up-right position and release them so that the dovetail’s slot is unobstructed
– figure A. Hold the tube and match the telescope dovetail Vixen-style to the dovetail holder (part 6) and tighten the two dovetail knobs
(part 1) – figure C. It is important that the tube is balanced to the dovetail so that it does not tilt either to the front or the back.
3.1. Balancing the tube.
Slide the tube or the dovetail to the front or the back to achieve perfect balancing.
Azimuth axis
place the white dot aligned with vertical spikes.

Align both back and white dots.
