Setting Up The Telescope - Vixen A62SS Instruction Manual

SETTING UP THE TELESCOPE

Attaching the Optical Tube to the Mount
• Loosen both the dovetail plate lock screw and safety screw
until the tips of these screws no longer extended into the
inner part of the dovetail block.
• Slide the dovetail attachment bar on the optical tube into the
dovetail mounting block as shown in the figure.
• Tighten the dovetail lock screw onto the dovetail tube plate
until snug (centered on the notch).
• First tighten the dovetail lock screw, and then tighten the
small chrome safety screw.
Note: Refer to your mount instructions as to balancing the
optical tube.
Attaching the Finder Scope
(Finder scope may be optional at your particular model.)
Loosen the finder scope bracket lock screw on the finder
bracket shoe of the optical tube.
Attach the finder scope (or XY Red dot finder) as shown in the
figure. Tighten the finder bracket lock screw securely.
Use of the Finder Scope
For the novice telescope user it is difficult to locate a selected
object in the telescope's field of view at high magnification.
Using a finder scope will make this easier.
