The telescope comes with a hand control holder to place the computerized hand control. The hand control holder comes in two
pieces: the leg clamp that snaps around the tripod leg and the holder which attaches to the leg clamp. To attach the hand
control holder:
1.
Place the leg clamp up against one of the tripod legs and
press firmly until the clamp wraps around the leg.
2.
Slide the back of the hand control holder downward into
the channel on the front of the legs clamp (see Fig 2-6)
until it snaps into place.

The telescope attaches to the mount via a dovetail slide bar which
is mounted along the bottom of the telescope tube. Before you
attach the optical tube, make sure that the declination and right ascension clutch knobs are tight (see Figure 2-13) and
the counterweight(s) are securely installed. This will ensure that the mount does not move suddenly while attaching the
telescope. To mount the telescope tube:
1.
Loosen the mounting screw on the side of the telescope mounting platform. This allows you to slide the dovetail bar
onto the mount.
2.
Remove the safety screw located at the front of the dovetail bar.
3.
Slide the dovetail bar on the telescope tube into the mounting platform of the mount. Slide the telescope so that the
back of the dovetail bar is close to the back of the mounting platform.
4.
Tighten the mounting screw on the side of the mounting platform to hold the telescope in place.
Now that the optical tube is securely in place, the visual accessories can now be attached to the telescope.
