4.6. Turn Off the Mount
When you have finished your observation, simply turn the mount power off and disassemble the
mount and tripod.
If the mount is set up on a pier or inside an observatory, it is recommended that you return the
mount to the Zero Position or park the telescope. This will ensure that there is no need for you to perform
the initial setup again when you power on the mount subsequently so long as the mount has not been
moved from the parked position.
4.7. Put the Mount Back into the Package/Carrying Case
Disengage the gear system for transportation and insert the Allen wrench into RA yoke to lock the
RA axis.
