14 • Assembling Your CM-1100
To aid in polar aligning the mount, your telescope comes standard with a Polar
Housing Finder. It installs directly on top of the polar housing of the mount. To
install the Polar Finder:
1. Locate the Polar Finder assembly. The Polar Finder assembly consists
of the polar finder, mounting bracket and knurled mounting screw (see
Figure 2.11).
2. Place the Polar Finder Assembly on top of the polar axis housing so that
the mounting stop on the metal bracket sits flush against the rear of the
polar housing.
3. Secure the Polar Finder Assembly to the mount by threading the Knurled
Mounting Screw into the threaded hole on top of the Polar Housing.
The Polar Axis Finder is now installed and ready to use. To learn how to polar
align the mount using the Polar Axis Finder, refer to the Astronomy Basics
section of the manual.
