PART I: Installation of the WAVE150i Mount
* Turn the R.A. axis and let the telescope lean to the right.
* Adjust the counterweight's position on the rod until it is balanced in the R.A. axis and then re-lock the
counterweight. Keep the counterweight locked at the furthest position if the telescope is too heavy to get a full
balance.
* Return the telescope to the home position of the R.A. axis and tighten the R.A. locking knob.
Use the following formula to decide the counterweight's position:
Dw = Mt * Dt / Mw
Dw: Distance of the counterweight's gravity centre to the azimuth axis
Mw: Mass of the counterweight
Mt: Mass of the telescope
Dt: Distance of the telescope's gravity centre to the axis.
