STEP 2. Install the polar scope

Before installing the polar scope onto the mount, face the polar scope to a bright source, such

as the sky (but not the SUN) or a lamp from a distance. Adjust the eyepiece to focus the reticle

pattern. Then face the polar scope to a distant object and look through the eyepiece. If you cannot

see the distant object clearly, the polar scope is not focused for your eyesight. Release a few turns of

the Lock ring (or hold the objective lens and turn it counterclockwise). Turn the Objective lens until the

image is focused. Retighten the Lock ring.

Figure 7. Insert the polar scope

Remove the front cover of the polar telescope. Loosen the Polar Scope Locking Screw until it

does not intrude into the polar scope mounting hole. Gently insert the polar scope all the way into the

polar scope mounting hole from the back of the mount and with the flat platoon on the polar scope

facing left, as shown in Figure 7. Adjust the polar scope to make 12 o’clock at the top of the polar

scope dial and finger tighten (not too tight) the Polar Scope Locking Screw. Turn the mount power on.

Press the Polar Scope Illumination Adjustment Button to adjust the brightness of the dark field reticle.

STEP 3. Attach the SkyTracker

Pro to a tripod

The SkyTracker

Pro can be mounted to a stable tripod with or without the alt-azi base, as

shown in Figure 8. When the alt-azi base is not used, a ball head (#3305A, not included) is suggested

for easy adjustment.
