6. Determine the latitude range that you need (refer to Diagram 3)

 

and position the hole that is marked “A” in Diagram 5 at that

 

location. Note that this hole is located at the rounded part of the

 

altitude bar.

 

7. Attach two of the screws (one on either side of the adjuster bar),

 

but do not tighten. Rotate the altitude adjuster bar around this pivot

 

point until one of the other holes lines up. Insert the remaining two

 

screws. Lightly tighten so that you still have some ability to move

 

the bar.

 

8. Note that the altitude adjustment knob is attached to a threaded

 

rod that travels through the altitude adjuster bar. Turn the knob so

 

that the altitude adjuster bar is positioned approximately in the

 

middle of the threaded rod. You should see about half of the

 

threaded rod protruding from both sides of the altitude adjuster

 

bar. This will allow you to move the mount fully within the altitude

 

range.

 

9. At the end of the threaded rod mentioned in the last step, you will

 

see a small brass altitude adjuster thrust pad. This is the part that

 

will come in contact with the polar axis as you ease it back into

 

position. Loosen the altitude locking knob (motor/gear side) and

 

lower the polar axis so that it rests comfortably on this pad. The

Diagram 5

threaded rod should be positioned at a right angle to the polar axis

housing. Firmly tighten the altitude adjustment screws.

 

10.Turn the altitude adjustment knob to raise or lower the polar axis to your approximate observing latitude. Tighten the altitude locking knobs with finger pressure only. You do not need to tighten with the hex key.

11.Firmly tighten both polar axis pivot screws with the hex key.

Attach Pier Adapter to Pier Post

If you purchased the pier from Astro-Physics, the pier top adapter of the 1200 may be already attached to the top of the pier. If you are constructing your own pier or tripod, you will need to incorporate this part. The pier adapter was designed to fit into a 10" x 0.094" wall tube. Use six (6) screws to attach this part. Note that with the Astro-Physics pier, you can orient the pier adapter so that one of the pier legs faces "north" or "south" as you prefer.

Assemble Pier (purchased separately)

Begin by assembling the portable pier at the desired observing location. Note which direction is north.

1.Slide the three legs onto the nubs of the base and rotate the assembly so that one of the legs points toward north (or south, if that is your preference).

2.Place the pier post on the base orienting the center azimuth block directly north. If you choose to have one leg north, then the pier adapter plate will have to be installed with the azimuth block directly over a turnbuckle. If you have one leg south, the pier adapter plate will have to be installed with the azimuth block over and between two of the pier post turnbuckles.

3. Attach the tension rods. The turnbuckles should be drawn tight

until the whole assembly is stiff enough to support your weight without movement.
