Instruction Manual
Observers on the southern hemisphere:
S- 7 a) Look at the trapezoid association in the polar viewfinder’s reticle. They
build the stars Sigma, Tau, Chi and Ypsilon Octantis. Turn the RA axis until
the “real” stars roughly cover the edge points in the trapezoid figure.
S- 7 b) Probably both trapezoids may still be parallel shifted. Adjust this offset
by using the latitude and azimuth fine controls. Maybe an additional RA cor-
rection is necessary.
NOTE:
Not all settings within the month/hour scale are possible because a german
equatorial mount is limited within its movements.
8. Tighten the RA wedging again and set the telescope to its polar home posi-
tion.
NOTE:
Don’t forget to switch off the reticle illuminatin after use.
