Introduction & Use

The alt-azimuth Panoramic

Mount is perfect for our lighter weight scopes and will

work fine with our 4" scopes at moderate powers. It accepts the Sky Tour computer

system as well as the Eyepiece Caddy Set.

The Panoramic Mount Head cradles the telescope at its center of gravity, to make

operation smooth and easy. Brass bearings with tension adjustments provide a

smooth vertical motion from about 17° below the horizon to almost Zenith (85°).

To achieve smoothest operation it is important to have the telescope properly bal-

anced in its mount ring, with the altitude tension knobs providing minimal drag.

The tripod legs are crafted from solid wood and can position the cradle height from

38" to 62". The legs are tied together by either a powder coated cast aluminum

head or solid brass head. The triangular accessory tray adds extra stability to the

tripod.

The Panoramic Mount is ideal for terrestrial and astronomical viewing.

Setting-up on level groundSetting-up on level ground

Setting-up on level ground - With the tripod upside down, pull the 3 Leg

Extensions to the same height and lock in place with Leg Extension Lock Knobs.

3b)

Setting-up on uneven terrainSetting-up on uneven terrain

Setting-up on uneven terrain - Proceed as above, then install Tray (step 4). Extend

remaining legs until head is approximately level. Lock Leg Extension Lock Knobs.

Move on to step 5.

NOTE: The mount only needs to be sufficiently levelled so the telescope swings

smoothly in any azimuth orientation.

Installing TrayInstalling Tray

Installing Tray - With tripod right side up, spread apart tripod legs. Install Tray

by inserting the stud from one of the hinged Tray Supports through the hole in one

corner of the Tray. Secure Tray using one of the plastic Wing Nuts. (Leave Wing

Nut slightly loose to ease installation of the remaining Tray Support screws.) Mount

Tray on the remaining two supports. Tighten all three Wing Nuts after Tray is in

position.

Installing Panoramic Mount Head Installing Panoramic Mount Head

Installing Panoramic Mount Head - Set the Panoramic Mount Head into the

Bushing in the Tripod Head. Screw the Lock Knob into the hole in the side of the

Tripod Head and tighten enough so the head cannot be pulled out. Swing the Cradle

until approximately level and tighten the Vertical Tension Knobs.

NoteNote

Note: Mount head

can be moved to other Tele Vue tripods or camera tripods by removing the Panoramic

Post. Use 5/64" Allen to loosen

lower set screw on Azimuth bearing plate, then

unscrew the post. Normally this set screw is tight to prevent Panoramic Post from

unscrewing from the head as mount is turned in azimuth.

6) Follow instructions packaged with handle to attach it to the mount.

7) Using the Allen wrench provided, screw the studs into the 2 outer holes of the telescope

Mount Ring until they bottom. (Be careful not to overtighten; Mount Ring is aluminum and

threads may strip.)

Mounting TelescopeMounting Telescope

Mounting Telescope - Place the telescope down on the Cradle inserting threaded studs

in the telescope mounting ring into cradle holes. Note, orient telescope so Vertical Tension

Knobs are closer to the telescope's eyepiece end. Fasten in place with plastic Wing Nuts.

9) Loosen
