With the North Star II
Field tripod completed, it was time to set it up to receive my CG-5
equatorial mount. Basically, everything was good to go to install
the mount, but I wanted to also instill azimuth fine adjustment
capability found on many other premium EQ mount heads. To make this
work for the NS II, I used a carriage bolt to do the trick. To
establish where I needed to mount the carriage bolt into the
pan-head, I load the carriage bolt precisely between the adjustment
screws of the azimuth adjusters and made some measurements which I
transposed to the pan-head. Also the height of the screw was
carefully consider so that once the EQ was mounted to the pan-head,
it would be at the perfect height. Worked beautifully! |
