or a little past. Rebalance the telescope and mark the tube. Now slide the

telescope in its rings so it is positioned half way between the two marks. Tighten

the telescope mounting rings so the telescope cannot slide out. Add friction by

tightening the friction-adjusting nut on the altitude axis. Add enough friction so

the telescope stays in place (doesn't move up or down). Now add a little more

friction to compensate for minor focus changes.

The DiscMount will work very well in this configuration. Some slight friction

adjustments might be needed until the mount breaks in.

Personally I like a lot of friction! I have gotten use to it and like the feel! I have

found that extra friction helps over shooting the object. When you stop the

telescope stops.

Binocular viewers!

Bino's generally use two light eyepieces so are not a problem, if the bino is

left in when the adjustments are made. It is also possible to adjust the telescope

so that the bino can be removed and a diagonal be put in it's place. It all depends

on what the total amount of weight is and how much friction you as the observer

are satisfied with.

Final tweak (if you want)!

The idea is to go back and forth from the heaviest and lightest configuration

to find the best balance and the least amount of friction required keeping the

telescope from moving.

With the telescope in worse case heavy and the telescope positioned half

way between the marks. Position the focuser at infinity or a little further out.

Loosen the friction-adjusting nut until the telescope just starts to rotate (A very

slight adjustment is all that is required.). Now slowly slide the telescope in its

mounting rings until the telescope is balanced (not moving). Don't touch the

friction adjustment.

Change the telescope back to worst case light. If the telescope does not

move, loosen the friction very slightly until it starts to move. Back to worse case

heavy. Does the telescope move? If no, loosen the friction very slightly until it

starts to move. Slide the telescope in its mounting rings until balanced. Than

back to worse case light.

With the friction slightly loosened you will reach a point where the telescope

will slowly rotate at the same speed in worse case heavy and worse case light.

This is the balance point where the least amount of friction is needed to keep the

telescope from moving.

Tighten the telescope mounting rings so the telescope can't slide out. Adjust the

friction-nut only tight enough to keep the telescope in place wherever it is placed.
