ABOUT POLAR AXIS SCOPES

Polar Axis scopes are used for precisely pointing the equatorial mount at the celestial pole and this process

is called “Polar Alignment”. When taking astrophotography of nebulae or star clusters, you will have to

exactly set the telescopes’s axis of rotation to accord with the Earth’s axis of rotation.

Caution:

If Polar Alignment is not done properly, stars will rotate around an axis in the center of the image or stars

will trail off and you will not be able to get tight star images. Polar alignment is not possible in both the

northern and southern latitudes of 70 degrees. Check you latitude and longitude before starting polar

alignmnt.

VIXEN POLAR AXIS SCOPE COMPONENTS

INSTALLING THE VIXEN SX POLAR AXIS SCOPE

Remove the plastic Polar

Axis cap by tuning it coun-

terclockwise.

Attach the SX Polar Axis

scope to the Polar axis of

the mount by tunring it

clockwise.

*Make sure the Polar Axis

scope is inserted straight to

avoid damaging threads.

After the Polar Axis

scope is installed, turn

the date graduation circle

so that the Allen wrench

insertion opening will

overlap the hole under-

neath

Insert the supplied Allen wrench into

the hole to use as a gripping aid.

Secure the SX Polar Axis scope by

gripping the Allen Wrench and turning

it clockwise

Turn the time graduation circle by

holding the water level on both

sides so that the bubble is in the

middle of the water level.

Check the difference between the standard time meridian of your region and your observing site on a map of the area. If the

observing site is in the east of standard time meridian, rotate the time meridian indicator in the direction as indicated E on the

meridian offset scale. If the observing site is in the west of the standard time meridian, rotate the time meridian indicator in the

direction indicated W on the meridian offset scale. You can more the time meridian indicator by rotating the eyepiece of the

Polar Axis Scope while youhold the date graduation circle with your finger as show in the image above.

USING THE POLAR AXIS SCOPE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

USING THE POLAR AXIS SCOPE IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

Set up your telescope on flat hard

ground where you can see Polaris in

the sky. Point the Polar Axis of the

mount in the direction of North as

shown in the figure below, using a

compass if available. Adjust the tripod

legs so that it is as level as possible.

Take off the Decl. cap

and Polar Axis cap.

These caps can be re-

moved easily by twist-

ing counter clockwise.

Adjust the mount in altitude until the

latitude indicator (the edge in front

of the altitude scale) points to you

latitude. (Refer to the manual for the

Sphinx equatorial mount)

The mount is set at an altitude around

35 deg at the Vixen factory. Be sure

to adjust the mount in altitude when

your observing site is different from the

initial setting.

Release the altitude adjustment clamp

and turn the knob as shown in the

figures to the right. The mount can be

adjusted within +- 15 deg at 35 deg.

Advance the setting to aligning the telescope on the screen of the

STAR BOOK until the relevant star chart appears on the screen. Re-

fer to the section “Aligning the telescope” in the instruction manual

of the Sphinx Mount

Rotate the Decl axis by operating the keys DC+ or DC-

while looking in the Polar Axis in front of the Polar Axis

body. Move until you see the Polar Axis Scope through the

hole on the Decl. Axis.

Adjust the brightness of the illuminator for the Vixen Polar Axis scope. Press the key

that is assigned for “MENU” to display the system menu. Choose Polar Axis Light

Bright by moving the cursor with the arrow keys and then press “Select”. The dialog

box opens and you can adjust the brightness of the illuminated reticle in the Polar Axis

by operating the arrow keys as you look through the Polar Axis Scope.
