(Figure 10); first loosen the counterweight’s lock knob to
clear the center hole. Retighten the lock knob to secure
the counterweight(s) on the shaft.
6. Replace the safety stop on the end of the counterweight
shaft. The safety stop prevents the counterweights from
falling on your foot if the lock knobs come loose.

2.4 installing a telescope on the Mount
1. The Sirius Pro mount is designed to hold a telescope
payload of up to 30 lbs. in EQ or single scope Altazimuth
mode. In dual scope altazimuth mode it can hold up to
two 30-lb. telescopes. For heavier telescopes, the mount
may not provide sufficient stability for steady observing
or imaging.
Before installing a telescope, be sure that:
a. The counterweight shaft is pointing toward the
ground.
b. The counterweights are installed on the
counterweight shaft and have been moved to
the bottom end of the shaft.
c. The R.A. axis is secured by tightening the R.A.
clutch.
2. Loosen the Dec. clutch wheel and rotate the saddle until
the slot is oriented horizontally, as in Figure 12A. Then
retighten the Dec. clutch wheel.
3. Loosen the two knobs on the saddle plate (Figure 12B)
until the bolts are clear of the dovetail slot.
4. While holding the telescope, seat the dovetail bar of the
telescope into the saddle. Then tighten the two knobs to
secure the dovetail bar.
NOTE: The Sirius Pro saddle is designed to accept a
“Vixen-style” dovetail plate, or bar.
Warning: Keep supporting the telescope until the dovetail
mounting bar is tightened down firmly in the saddle!
