First the counterweight bar needs to thread into the opening of the declination axis. Afterwards the screw at the end of the counterweight bar can be removed and the counterweight can be place and fixated on the counterweight bar. Subsequently, the screw can be reattached to the end of the counterweight bar. |  {{ost:c8:IMG_7080_small.jpg?300}}  |  {{ost:c8:006_resize.jpg?300}}

The tube is equipped with a so-called dove tail (the orange thing) that allows a quick and easy attachment of the tube to the mount. Simply, insert the dovetail into the clamp of the mount and tighten the screw  of the clamp. |  {{ost:c8:IMG_7104_small.jpg?300}} {{ost:c8:IMG_7109_small.jpg?300}} {{ost:c8:IMG_7110_small.jpg?300}}  |

Both can be simply plugged into the labeled ports of the mount. For the hand terminal the corresponding holder should be attached to the tripod first, so that it can be safely stored.   {{ost:c8:IMG_7092_small.jpg?300}}  |  {{ost:c8:008_resize.jpg?300}}

First lose the clutch knobs fixing the right-ascension axis, until you can freely move the telescope around this axis. Now adjust the position of the counterweight such that there is no movement along this axis anymore. Tighten the clutch knobs again and repeat this procedure for the declination axis. As there are no counterweights for this axis, one has to shift the tube along the clamp to tare the declination axis.      {{ost:c8:007_resize.jpg?300}}  |{{ost:c8:IMG_7108_small.jpg?300}}  |  {{ost:c8:007_resize.jpg?300}}
