arcminutes,” it means that one complete revolution of the Altitude Adjuster, plus two positive tic marks
on the Vernier scale from the vertical line labeled ‘A’ should place the elevation of the mount close to the

knob directly beneath the Vernier scale has four vertical lines labeled with the letters A, B, C, and D that
