Celestron 91519 Instruction Manual page 11

It is best to always make final adjustments in altitude by
moving the mount against gravity (i e , using the rear latitude
adjustment screw to raise the mount) To do this you should
loosen both latitude adjustment screws and manually push
the front of the mount down as far as it will go Tighten the
rear adjustment screw to raise the mount to the desired
latitude
adjusting the Mount in azimuth
For rough adjustments in azimuth, simply pick up the
telescope and tripod and move it For fine adjustments
in azimuth:
Turn the azimuth adjustment knobs located on either side of
the azimuth housing While standing behind the telescope,
the knobs are on the front of the mount
• Turning the right adjustment knob clockwise moves the
mount toward the right
• Turning the left adjustment knob clockwise moves the
mount to the left
Both screws push off of the alignment peg on the tripod
head, which means you may have to loosen one screw while
tightening the other The screw that holds the equatorial
mount to the tripod may have to be loosened slightly
Keep in mind that adjusting the mount is done during the
polar alignment process only Once polar aligned, the mount
must NOT be moved Pointing the telescope is done by
moving the mount in right ascension and declination, as
described earlier in this manual
