4 assembly from its housing f or any reason, or the product war- ranty and return policy will be voided. 1. Lay the equatorial mount on its side. Attach the tr ipod legs one at a time to the mount using the screws installed in the tops of the tr ipod legs.
the knobs , with washers attached, up through the holes in the mount and thread them into the plate until finger tight. 10. Attach the two slow-motion cables to the R.A. and Dec. worm gear shafts of the equatorial mount by positioning the small screw on the end of the cab le o ver the indented slot on the worm gear shaft.
The telescope is now balanced on the R.A. axis . It is not nec- essar y to balance the telescope on the Dec. axis, since the optical tube’ s mounting plate is positioned so that the tele - scope will automatically be balanced on that axis.
T o find Polaris in the sky , look nor th and locate the pattern of the Big Dipper (Figure 7). The two stars at the end of the “bowl” of the Big Dipper point right to P olar is . Obser v ers in the Souther n Hemisphere aren’t so f or tunate to hav e a br ight star so near the south celestial pole (SCP).
The Polar Axis Finder Scope A nice feature of the StarMax 127 EQ is the polar axis finder scope housed inside the R.A. axis of the equator ial mount (see Figure 4). When properly aligned and used, it makes accurate polar alignment quic k and easy to do .
9 F or most accurate polar alignment, you will need to know the appro ximate longitude of your observing site . This inf or mation can be obtained by looking at a local map. Now , you must figure the diff erence between the longitude of y our observing site and the closest standard time meridian.
10 The R.A. and Dec. values f or celestial objects can be found in any star atlas or star catalog. The R.A. setting circle is scaled in hours, from 1 through 24, with small marks in between representing 10 minute incre - ments (there are 60 minutes in 1 hour of R.
The k ey things to remember when pointing the telescope are, first that you only mov e it in R.A. and Dec., not in azim uth or latitude (altitude), and second, the counterweight and shaft will not alw ays appear as it does in Figure 1. In fact, it almost ne ver will! 6.
12 the best ey epiece to use depending on the object being view ed. T o calculate the magnification, or power , of a telescope and ey epiece combination, simply divide the focal length of the telescop.
13 Io , Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. Higher-power ey epieces should bring out the cloud bands on the planet’ s disk. SA TURN The r inged planet is a breathtaking sight when it is well positioned.
the telescope slightly , until the telescope is centered on the new star . Continue using stars as guideposts in this w ay until y ou are at the appro ximate position of the object you are trying to find (Figure 10). Look in the telescope’ s eyepiece , and the object should be somewhere within the field of view .
15 Cleaning Lenses Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens clean- ing fluid specifically designed for multi-coated optics can be used to clean the StarMax’s front meniscus lens or e xposed lenses of your ey epieces or finder scope.
