Installing the Polar Finder
To aid in polar aligning the mount, your telescope comes standard with a Polar Housing Finder. It installs directly on top of the polar housing of the mount. To install the Polar Finder:
1.Locate the Polar Finder assembly. The Polar Finder assembly consists of the polar finder, mounting bracket and knurled mounting screw (see Figure 2.11).
2.Place the Polar Finder Assembly on top of the polar axis housing so that the mounting stop on the metal bracket sits flush against the rear of the polar housing.
3.Secure the Polar Finder Assembly to the mount by threading the Knurled Mounting Screw into the threaded hole on top of the Polar Housing.
The Polar Axis Finder is now installed and ready to use. To learn how to polar align the mount using the Polar Axis Finder, refer to the Astronomy Basics section of the manual.
