Attaching the Declination Slow Motion Knob

Like the R.A. slow motion knob, the DEC slow motion knob allows you to

make fine pointing adjustments in the direction the telescope is pointed.

The DEC slow motion knob attaches in the same manner as the R.A. knob.

The shaft that the DEC slow motion knob fits over is toward the top of the

mount, just below the telescope mounting platform. Once again, you have two

shafts to choose from. Use the shaft that is pointing toward the ground. This

makes it easy to reach while looking through the telescope, something which

is quite important when you are observing.

1. Line up the flat area on the inner portion of the DEC slow motion knob with

the flat area on the DEC shaft.

2. Slide the DEC slow motion knob over the DEC shaft (see figure 2-6).
