Fine Adjustment Cables
The fine adjustment cables move the declination and right ascension settings in very
small increments. When you are aligning the finderscope or centering a star or planet in
the telescope there will be a time when only small adjustments will be necessary. That is
when you’ll use these knobs. They look like the diagram below. Notice one is long and
the other is short. It really doesn’t matter which one goes on the declination and which
one goes on the right ascension. Generally though, they go on just like the below
diagram. They connect to the telescope mount only one way so I won’t cover their
attachment procedure.
