9.Loosen the R.A. lock knob and carefully rotate the telescope 180" in R.A. axis (Fig.A-5). This

should be done as accurate as possible using the R.A. setting circle.

10.Once again, adjust the telescope in Dec so Polaris sits on the R.A. lines of the reticle eyepiece (see Fig.A-3).

11.Now take a closer look at the mount~ngplate underneath the telescope tube. There should be a set of screws on each end, next to the tube ring lock~ngscrews (Fig.A-6). (If your mounting plate does not have these screws or screw holes, you will need to make modification to the plate.)
