2. assembly
Carefully open all of the boxes in the shipping container. Make
sure all the parts listed in the Parts List are present. Save the
boxes and packaging material. In the unlikely event that you
need to return the mount, you must use the original packag-
ing.
Initially assembly of the mount should only take about 20-30
minutes. No tools, other than the provided hex key, are need-
ed. Refer to Figure 1 during assembly.
1. Assemble the arm to the upper base. This is done with the
two socket head cap screws. Orient the parts as shown in
Figure 3. The groove in the upper base should register with
the slot in the arm. Insert the screws through the holes in
the arm and into the upper base. Tighten the screws firmly
with the hex key.
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Orion product. Your VersaGo Altazimuth Mount is a sturdy,
yet highly portable observing platform for small telescopes. The simple design makes setting up and
using the mount very easy. Teflon bearing surfaces for both axes of motion insure smooth telescope
pointing, even when making very small, precise positional adjustments. Great for daytime terrestrial or
nighttime astronomical applications, you’ll find yourself observing more and fussing with equipment less
when using the VersaGo.
These instructions will help you set-up, properly use, and care for your mount. Please read them over
thoroughly before getting started.
