INSTALLING SECOND SADDLE
The basic principles of attaching the secondary
saddle are the same as for the primary.
Both mounting surfaces of the Altitude/DEC
axis feature bolt-patterns that will accomodate
the Keller EZ-Saddle (for the CDK12.5, CDK14
and compatible with Losmandy D-series style
dovetails, and similar from Celestron, Meade,
ect.).
Before mounting the saddle, the Altitude/DEC
locking knob will need to be removed. This
means that the primary OTA/system needs to
be relatively well balanced.
Mount the saddle:
1) Ensure that the hole-pattern used causes the
secondary-saddle to point at the same angle
as the main OTA’s saddle.
2) Fully assemble and install the secondary
telescope’s instrumentation (if possible).
3) Find the secondary OTA’s center of mass,
and accordingly mark the dovetail for refer
-
ence of balance during mounting.
4) Prepare the saddle to receive the telescope’s
dovetail (varies by saddle).
5) Lift the telescope into the saddle.
6) Slide the dovetail within the saddle to place
the balance-mark above the rotational-axis.
7) Engage the saddle, ensuring that the dove
-
tail is properly seated and secure before letting
go.
