NOTE: If you order a Meade viewfinder or photo-guide telescope for your DS-10 after receiving your
telescope, be sure to mention, when ordering, that the finder will be used on the Meade DS-10. Due to the
thick-wall main tube used on the DS-10, extra-long mounting screws are required for attaching finder or guide
scope brackets to the main tube. By mentioning your telescope model no., we will know to ship these extra-
long screws with your order.
Photo-Guide Telescopes: If a 2" or 2.4" photo-guide telescope is employed with the DS-10, this auxiliary
telescope should be positioned on the main telescope at the "12 o'clock" position, as shown in Fig. 6. By
straddling the declination axis with the guide telescope (Fig. 7), a minimum of extra balance weights will be
required. (See below.)
FIG. 6: Proper positioning of optional equipment on the main tube of the DS-10.
Equipment is shown as it should appear when observer is looking down main tube toward primary mirror.
