Included components of the StarSeeker IV GoTo telescope. (StarSeeker IV 127mm Mak-Cass shown)
should be facing up. Make sure the "V" of each tray arm
is against a tripod leg. Place the washer on the center
support shaft against the tray, then thread the knob back
onto the shaft until tight (Figure 3). The accessory tray
provides additional stability for the tripod, and has holes
for eyepieces and other accessories.
3. Place the base of the mount arm onto the tripod's top
plate, lining up the three holes in the bottom of the arm
base with the three bolts in the top plate (Figure 4). Turn
the three knobs under the tripod top plate clockwise until
tight (Figure 4b).
4. To adjust the height of the tripod legs, loosen the tripod leg
clamp knob located on the side of each leg (Figure 5).
Extend the inner portion of each leg to the desired length.
Then tighten the tripod leg clamp knob to secure each leg
in place.
Attaching the Telescope Tube to the Mount Arm
5. Unthread the tube lock knob until the bolt tip is not
protruding into the saddle slot (Figure 6). Slide the
telescope's dovetail bar into the saddle on the mount arm
as shown and secure it by tightening the tube lock knob.
Note that the tube lock knob can be positioned either up or
180 degrees opposite in the down position, your choice.

Also notice the altitude axis tensioning knob near the top of the
mount arm (refer to Figure 1). It is used to set the desired
tension for rotation of the telescope by hand in altitude. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase the tension; turn it counterclock-
wise to decrease the tension. There is no tensioning knob for
azimuth rotation.
Inserting the Star Diagonal (Mak-Cass) and Eyepiece
A star diagonal is used with the Maksutov-Cassegrain models
to divert the light at a right angle from the light path of the tele-
Figure 3.
Install the accessory tray/tripod spreader before
attaching the mount arm.
