3.9. Connect Cable

Connect the Go2Nova

supplied coiled control cable. Put the hand controller onto the hand controller hanger.

An optional secondary saddle (#8953) is available for dual balanced OTAs. To install a

secondary dovetail saddle, loose the CW shaft lock and push the CW shaft out to a desired length.

Lock the CW shaft lock. Slide the secondary CW onto the CW shaft and tighten the secondary dovetail

saddle lock.

After you mount a secondary OTA onto the secondary dovetail holder, make sure you align it

with the primary OTA. This alignment is easier to be done during the daytime. Point the primary

telescope to a target at a remote building or flagpole and center the target in the eyepiece. Loosen the

secondary dovetail saddle lock. Rotate the secondary OTA around the counterweight shaft. Center the

object in the eyepiece of the secondary OTA. If the secondary OTA is tilted, it can be adjusted by

adjusting two tilting adjustment screws as shown in Figure 12 (M6 x 12mm Allen set screws). The

maximum payload on secondary side is 5kg (11lbs).

A combination of a light OTA and a CW can be used to balance a heavier primary OTA.
