Connecting the bits together...

[cyborg421]

Hi All,

I am purchasing a refractor as a Dob owner and I can't visualise how the Scope, CNC rings, dovetail bar,clamp and mount go together.

Does any one know a website or have a picture to show how they are all fixed together from starting separately?

I just can visualise it...

Thanks

Simon

The instruction manual should help you with this.

The astronomyboy eq mount tutorial http://www.astronomyboy.com/eq/ might also help.

Hope this works:

In addition to the above suggestions, you might want to watch these two videos, starting with, "How to Align an Equatorial Mount" followed by, "How to Use an Equatorial Mount". Apologies if you already know how the equatorial mount works but it's one thing to assemble the kit together according to an image, it's another putting the whole apparatus into operation.
