The CG-5 m ount is a German equ atorial mount that attaches t o the tripod head.

11 3. Hold the visual back with the set scre w in a convenient position and rotate the knurled slip ring cloc kwise until tight . Once this is done, y ou are ready to attach other accessories, such as eyepieces , diagonal prisms, etc. If you want to remove the visual back, rotate the slip ring counterclockwise until it is free of the rear cell.

Attach the bracket to the optical tube. T o do this, place the curved portion of the bracket with the slot over the tw o holes in the rear cell.
13 Both the R.A. and DEC ax is have lock levers to clu tch down each axis of th e telescope. To loosen the clutches on the telescope, rotate the lock levers counterclockwise. B B a a l l a a n n c c i i n n g g T T h h e e M M o o u u n n t t i i n n R R .

18 A A l l i i g g n n m m e e n n t t P P r r o o c c e e d d u u r r e e s s In order for the t elescope to accurately poi nt to objects in the sky, it mus t first be aligned to three known pos itions (stars) in the sky.
19 4. Select one of th e four alignm ent methods as described bel ow. Note: If incorrect inf ormation is entered into the hand control, the UNDO button acts like a back space bu tton allowing the user to re- enter the correct data.

NOTE: Although the te lescope al low s the user t o select the alignm ent stars, for best all-sky pointing acc uracy it is still nece ssary to select t wo align ment stars on on e side o f the Meridian and th e third st ar on the opposi te side of the M eridian.
21 O O b b j j e e c c t t C C a a t t a a l l o o g g Selecting an Object Now that the telescope is prop erly align ed, you can choose an object from any of the catalogs in the telescope's extensive database. The h and control ha s a key (4) desig nated for each of the catalogs in its database.
22 Tour Mode The Advanced Series telescopes include a tour feature which automatically allo ws the user to choose from a list o f interesting obj ects based on the date and ti me in which you ar e observing.
23 1 = .5x 6 = 64x 2 = 1x (s idereal) 7 = .5º / sec 3 = 4x 8 = 2º / sec 4 = 8x 9 = 3º / sec 5 = 16x S S e e t t u u p p P P r r o o c c e e d d u u r r e e s s The Advanced G T contains many user def ined se tup functions designed to gi ve the user control ov er the tele scope's many adv anced features.
24 GoTo Object: To go to any of the user defin ed objects stored i n the database, scroll down to either GoTo Sky Obj or Goto Land Obj an d enter the n umber of the object y ou wish to select and press ENTE R. The telescope will automatically retrieve and display the coordinates before slew ing to th e object.
25 Precise GoTo The Advanced Series telescopes have a precise g oto function that can assist in finding extremely faint objects and centering objects closer to th e center of the field of view for as trophotography and CCD imaging.
26 minimum altitude limit to read +20º . This will make sure that the hand control only displa ys objects that are high er in altitude than 20º . If you want to explore the entire object database, set the maximum altitude limit to 90º and the minimum limit to – 90º.
27 telescopes azimuth i n this p osition (by loo king at Get Alt-Az under the Utilities menu) you can determine the telescopes azimuth at its most extended position. Enter this azi muth reading for either the m aximum or minimum azimuth slew limit to ens ure that the telescope will not sle w beyond this point.

30 Up to this poi nt, this m anual cov ered the a ssem bly and bas ic opera tion of your telesc ope. Howev er, to under stand y our telesc ope more thoro ughly , you nee d to know a little about t he nig ht sky . This sec tion deals w ith observational astronom y in g enera l and i ncludes inform ation on the night s ky and polar a lignm ent.
31 Motion of the Stars The daily motion of the Sun acr oss the sky is familia r to even the m o st casual obse rver. T his daily trek is not t he Su n mov ing as e arly as tronome rs thought, b ut the result of the Earth' s rotation.
32 Latitude Scales The easiest way to polar align a telescope is with a latitude scale. Unlike other methods that require you to find the celestial pole by identifying certain st ars near it, this method works off of a known constant to determine how high the polar axis should be point ed.
33 4. Center Polaris in the field of the telescope u sing the fine adjustment con trols on the mount. Remember, while Polar aligning , do NOT move the telescope in R.A. or DEC. Yo u do not want to move the telescope its elf, but the polar axis. The telescope is used simply to see where the polar ax is is pointing.
34 Declination Dr ift Method of P olar Alignme nt This method of polar alig nment allows you to get the most accurate alignment on the celestial pole and is required if you want to do l ong ex posure deep- sky ast rophotog raphy t hrough t he telescope.
35 With y our tele scope s et up, y ou a re rea dy to use it for obs erving . T his se ction cove rs v isual obse rving hints f or both solar sy stem and deep sky objects as we ll as general obse rving c onditions w hich will a ffec t your ability to observe .
36 For safe solar view ing, use a solar filter tha t reduces t he inte nsity of the Sun's lig ht, m aking it saf e to v iew. With a filter y ou can see sunspots a s they move across the sola r disk and faculae, w hich are bright patche s seen near the Sun's edge.

38 After looking at the night sky for a while you may want to try photographing it. Several forms of celestial photography are possible with your telescope, including short exposure prim e focus, eyepiece projection, long ex posure deep sky, terres trial and even CCD im aging.
