Congratulations on your purchase of the vener-
able Orion Atlas EQ-G equatorial GoTo mount
and tripod! This solidly-built, high-quality astro-
nomical mount is equipped with precision optical
encoders and dual-axis stepper motors to provide
high pointing accuracy, fast slewing, and smooth,
accurate tracking of celestial objects. With the
included SynScan GoTo hand controller and its
42,900-object database, this mount will provide
years of enjoyable, productive observing or imag-
ing performance with whatever optical tube you
choose to install on it.
These instructions will help you set up and properly
use your Atlas mount. Please read them thorough-
ly before getting started. Note that the SynScan
GoTo hand controller has its own, separate user
manual, which thoroughly explains its features and
operation.
1. Unpacking
The entire mount will arrive in two boxes, one containing the
tripod and the other containing the equatorial mount and
hand controller. Be careful unpacking the boxes. We recom-
mend keeping the boxes and original packaging. In the event
that the mount needs to be shipped to another location, or
returned to Orion for warranty repair, having the proper pack-
aging will ensure that your mount will survive the journey
intact.
Make sure all the parts in the Parts List are present. Be sure
to check the box carefully, as some parts are small. If any-
thing appears to be missing or broken, immediately call Orion

3. Assembly
Refer to Figure 1 as needed during the assembly process.
1. Stand the tripod upright and spread the legs out as far as
they will go. Make certain that the leg lock levers are tight-
ened. Keep the tripod legs at their shortest (fully retracted)
length, for now; you can extend them to a more desirable
length later, after the mount is fully assembled.
2. Loosen the two azimuth adjustment knobs on the mount
head until there is ½" or more of space between the ends
(Figure 2a). Then place the mount on the tripod, aligning
the metal post on the tripod with the gap between the two
azimuth adjustment knobs (Figure 2b).
3. Thread the center support shaft up through the tripod
head and into the bottom of the equatorial mount until
tight. Use the upper knob on the center support shaft to do
this. The equatorial mount should now be firmly connected
to the tripod.
Attaching the Accessory Tray/Spreader and the
Hand Controller Bracket
1. Remove the knob and washer from the bottom of the cen-
ter support shaft. Slide the tripod support tray up the bot-
tom of the shaft until the three tray arms are touching the
legs of the tripod. The flat side of the support tray should
be facing up. Make sure the “V” of each tray arm is against
a tripod leg. Place the washer on the center support shaft
against the tray, and follow it by threading the knob all the
way up the center support shaft until it is tight against the
tray (Figure 3). The tripod support tray provides additional
stability for the tripod, and holds up to five 1.25" eyepieces
and two 2" eyepieces.
Figure 2. a) Loosen the azimuth adjustment knobs to create at
least a ½” gap. b) Orient the mount head so that the gap aligns with
the metal post on the tripod.

2. Using the bubble level on the mount (see Figure 1), level
the mount by adjusting the length of the tripod legs as
needed.
3. Strap the included hand controller bracket to a tripod leg
above the tripod center support tray using the hook-and-
loop strap, as shown in Figure 4.
Warning: The accessory tray/spreader will ensure the tri-
pod legs remain firmly expanded, which will prevent the
tripod from accidentally toppling over. When using the At-
las mount, it is important to always install the accessory
tray/spreader before attaching the telescope.
Installing the Counterweights
Always attach the counterweight(s) before installing your tele-
scope on the mount, or the scope could swing downward by
gravity and crack into the tripod!
1. Loosen the counterweight shaft lock lever (see Figure 1)
and fully extend the shaft. Then re-tighten the lock lever.
2. Loosen the right ascension (R.A.) lock lever and rotate the
R.A. axis until the counterweight shaft is pointing toward
the ground, as in Figure 1.
3. Remove the “toe saver” safety stop from the end of the
counterweight shaft.
4. The Atlas mount comes with a 7-1/4" (184mm) counter-
weight shaft extension, which can be installed at this point
if necessary for balancing heavier payloads (Figure 5).
Ensure that the extension is tightly secured before install-
ing counterweights.
5. Loosen the counterweight’s lock knob and slide one or
both counterweights onto the counterweight shaft as
needed to balance your instrument. (See Section 5 for
details on how to balance the telescope.) Retighten the
lock knob to secure the counterweight on the shaft.
6. Replace the safety stop on the end of the counterweight
shaft. The safety stop prevents the counterweights from
falling on your foot if the lock knobs happen to loosen.
4. Installing a Telescope on
the Mount
The Atlas EQ-G mount is designed to hold a telescope pay-
load of up to 40 lbs. For heavier telescopes, the mount may
not provide sufficient stability for steady viewing or imaging.
Before installing a telescope, be sure that:
• The mount is in the “home” position, with counterweight
shaft pointing toward the ground.
• The counterweights are installed on the counterweight
shaft and have been moved to the bottom end of the shaft.
• The R.A. axis is secured by tightening the R.A. clutch lever.
The dovetail mounting bar (a.k.a. tube ring mounting bar)
included with the mount allows attachment of tube rings (sold
separately) that hold a telescope’s optical tube. Some tele-
scopes come with their own mounting bar and tube rings,
or have a built-in dovetail bar and do not need tube rings; in
either case you will not need the included dovetail bar.
1. If using the included dovetail mounting bar, attach the tube
rings to the bar using the screws that came with the tube
rings. The screws should go through the center holes in
the ends of the mounting bar and rethread into the tube
rings. Note that the side of the mounting bar with the
central “groove” will be facing up (Figure 6). Use a small
wrench to secure the tube rings to the mounting bar.
Note: The tube ring mounting bar has four optical axis
offset adjustment screws located at each corner of the
mounting plate. The screws should be oriented so that
the threaded shaft extends upward through the top sur-
face of the tube ring mounting bar. If the mounting bar
arrives with the optical axis offset screws installed back-
wards, reverse their orientation to that shown in Figure 6
before proceeding. For now, confirm that all four adjust-
ment screws are sufficiently unthreaded so that the ends
Figure 5. The counterweight shaft extension threads into the end
of the counterweight shaft.

of their threaded shafts are flush with the top surface of
the mounting bar.
2. Loosen the two clamp knobs on the dual-width saddle
plate (Figure 7) until the width of one of the dovetail
grooves is slightly wider than the width of the dovetail bar
on your telescope.
3. While holding the telescope, seat the dovetail bar of the
telescope into the proper groove of the saddle. The lower
groove is for a “narrow” (Vixen style), 45mm width dove-
tail bar and the upper groove is for a “wide” (Losmandy
style), 75mm bar. (The included dovetail bar fits the nar-
row groove.) Then tighten the two clamp knobs to secure
the dovetail bar in the saddle.
Warning: Keep supporting the telescope until you are
sure it has been firmly attached to the saddle!
5. Balancing the Telescope
To minimize stress on the motor drive system and ensure
smooth, accurate movement of a telescope on both axes of
the mount, it is imperative that the optical tube be properly
balanced. We will first balance the telescope with respect to
the right ascension (R.A.) axis, then the declination (Dec.)
axis.
1. Keeping one hand on the telescope optical tube, loosen
the R.A. lock lever (refer to Figure 8). Make sure the Dec.
lock lever is tightened, for now. The telescope should now
be able to rotate freely about the R.A. axis. Rotate it until
the counterweight shaft is parallel to the ground (i.e., hori-
zontal).
2. Now loosen the counterweight lock knob and slide the
weight(s) along the shaft until it exactly counterbalances
the telescope. That’s the point at which the shaft remains
horizontal even when you let go with both hands. Once
balance is achieved, retighten the counterweight lock
knob.
3. To balance the telescope on the Dec. axis, first tighten the
R.A. lock lever, with the counterweight shaft still in the hor-
izontal position. Then with one hand on the telescope opti-
cal tube, loosen the Dec. lock lever and check for any rota-
tion. If there is some, adjust the telescope forward or back
in the saddle or in its tube rings until it remains horizontal
when you carefully let go of it. You may want to rotate the
RA axis back to the home position (counterweight shaft
pointing downward) before making any adjustments to the
position of the telescope in the saddle or tube rings.
The telescope is now balanced on both axes. When you loos-
en the lock lever on one or both axes and manually point the
telescope, it should move without resistance and should not
drift from where you point it.
NOTE: For imaging, it is recommended that the mount
be slightly IMBALANCED – weighting the R.A. axis to the
EAST and the Dec. axis in either direction.The imbalance
should be very slight and should be implemented after
you have found the correct balance point using the above
procedure.This weight offset keeps a minimal load on the
gears at all times, which improves guiding behavior.
So for the R.A. axis, if the telescope is on the west side of the
mount, slide the counterweight down the counterweight shaft
(which is on the east side of the mount) a bit – 3 centimeters
or so should be enough. If the telescope is on the east side of
the mount, slide the counterweight up the shaft by the same
distance.
6. Setting Up and Using the
Equatorial Mount
When you look at the night sky, you no doubt have noticed that
the stars appear to move slowly from east to west over time.
That apparent motion is caused by the Earth’s rotation (from
west to east). An equatorial mount is designed to compensate
for that motion, allowing you to easily “track” the movement of
astronomical objects, thereby keeping them from drifting out
of your telescope’s field of view while you’re observing.
Figure 7. The dual-width saddle accommodates narrow or wide
dovetail mounting bars or plates.

This is accomplished by slowly rotating the telescope on its
right ascension (R.A.) axis, using the built in motor drive. But
first the R.A. axis of the mount must be aligned with the Earth’s
rotational (polar) axis—a process called polar alignment.
Polar Alignment
For Northern Hemisphere observers, approximate polar align-
ment is achieved by pointing the mount’s right ascension axis
at the North Star, or Polaris. It lies within 1° of the north celes-
tial pole (NCP), which is an extension of the Earth’s rotational
axis out into space. Stars in the Northern Hemisphere appear
to revolve around the NCP.
To find Polaris in the sky, look north and locate the pattern
of the Big Dipper (Figure 9). The two stars at the end of the
“bowl” of the Big Dipper point right to Polaris.
Observers in the Southern Hemisphere aren’t so fortunate to
have a bright star so near the south celestial pole (SCP). The
star Sigma Octantis lies about 1° from the SCP, but it is barely
visible with the naked eye (magnitude 5.5).
For general visual observation, an approximate polar align-
ment is sufficient.
1. Level the equatorial mount by adjusting the length of the
three tripod legs. Use the bubble level built into the base of
the mount to determine when the mount is level.
2. There are two latitude adjustment L-bolts (see Figure 8);
loosen one while tightening the other. By doing this you
will adjust the latitude, or altitude angle, of the mount.
Continue adjusting the mount until the pointer on the lati-
tude scale is set at the latitude of your observing site. If
you don’t know your latitude, consult a geographical atlas
or the Internet to find it. For example, if your latitude is 35°
North, set the pointer to 35. The latitude setting should not
have to be adjusted again unless you move to a different
viewing location some distance away.
3. Loosen the Dec. lock lever and rotate the telescope’s opti-
cal tube until it is parallel with the right ascension axis, as
it is in Figure 8.
4. Move the tripod so the telescope tube and right ascen-
sion axis point roughly at Polaris. If you cannot see Polaris
directly from your observing site, consult a compass and
rotate the tripod so the telescope points north.
The equatorial mount is now polar aligned for casual observ-
ing. More precise polar alignment is recommended for astro-
photography. For this we recommend using the polar axis
finder scope.
From this point on in your observing session, you should not
make any further adjustments to the latitude or azimuth of the
mount, nor should you move the tripod. Doing so will undo the
polar alignment. The telescope should be moved only about
its R.A. and Dec. axes.
The Polar Axis Finder Scope
The Atlas mount comes with a polar axis finder scope (Figure
10) housed inside the right ascension axis of the mount.
When properly aligned and used, it makes accurate polar
alignment quick and easy to do. The polar scope included
with the Atlas mount can be used for polar alignment in the
Northern Hemisphere. That is, the polar scope’s reticle graph-
ic has reference star patterns that are useful for aligning in the
Northern Hemisphere (Figure 11). Remove the cap from the
eyepiece of the polar scope to view through it, and be sure to
remove the cap on the front opening of the mount housing.

of the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia relative to Polaris and the north
celestial pole (NCP).

Aligning the Polar Axis Scope to the R.A. Axis
Before using the polar scope for polar alignment, the polar
scope itself must be aligned to the mount’s R.A. axis. At the
center of the reticle is a cross, which you’ll use in the proce-
dure below to align the polar scope to the R.A. axis.
1. Loosen the Dec. lock lever and rotate the optical tube
about the declination axis until you have a clear view
through the polar axis finder scope (Figure 12). Tighten
the Dec. lock lever.
2. Look through the polar finder at a distant object (during
the day) and center it in the cross hairs. You may need
to adjust the latitude adjustment L-bolts and the azimuth
adjustment knobs to do this. Focus the polar finder by
rotating the eyepiece.
3. Rotate the mount 180° about the R.A. axis. It may be con-
venient to remove the counterweights and optical tube
before doing this.
4. Look through the polar finder again. Is the object being
viewed still centered on the cross hairs? If it is, then no
further adjustment is necessary. If not, then look through
the polar finder while rotating the mount about the R.A.
axis. You will notice that the object you have previously
centered moves in a circular path. Use the 1.5mm Allen
key to adjust the three alignment set-screws on the polar
axis finder (Figure 10) move the object HALF the distance
back to the cross. Then you will re-center the object on the
cross as in Step 2 using the latitude adjustment L-bolt and
azimuth adjustment knobs.
5. Repeat this procedure until the position that the cross
hairs point to does not rotate off-center when the mount is
rotated in R.A.
Notes:
• When adjusting the Allen screws, loosen one screw only ¼
of a turn, and then tighten the other two.
• Do not over tighten the Allen screws as it might damage
the reticle plate in the polar scope.
• Do not loosen one screw completely or loosen more than
one screw at a time, or the reticle plate in the polar scope
will be disengaged and further adjustment is impossible.
• If the reticle plate does disengage, remove the
polar scope’s eyepiece by turning the knurled ring
counterclockwise and engage the reticle plate again.
Polar Alignment Using the Polar Scope
1. Set up the Atlas EQ-G mount. It is recommended to load
the mount with the counterweights and telescope (in that
order!) and level the mount prior to polar alignment.
2. Move the tripod so the telescope tube and right ascension
axis point roughly at Polaris (for Northern Hemisphere).
You may need to adjust the latitude adjustment L-bolts
and azimuth adjustment knobs to accomplish this.
3. Loosen the Dec. lock lever and rotate the optical tube until
the hole in the Dec. shaft lines up with the front opening
Figure 12. Rotate the declination axis until the hole in the
declination shaft lines up with the front opening of the housing.

of the housing (Figure 12), and you have a clear, unob-
structed view through the polar scope. Then retighten the
Dec. lock lever.
4. Turn on the power to the mount to illuminate the polar
scope. The reticle pattern should now be visible in the
polar scope. If the image appears blurred, rotate the polar
scope’s knurled eyepiece to focus it.
5. Now, sight Polaris in the polar axis finder scope. If it’s not
in the field of view, move the mount left or right using the
azimuth adjustment knobs, and adjust the altitude up or
down using the latitude adjustment L-bolt until Polaris is
visible in the polar scope.
6. Note the constellation Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper in
the reticle. They do not appear in scale, but they indicate
the general positions of Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper
relative to the NCP in the sky. Rotate the reticle so the star
patterns depicted match their current orientation in the
sky when viewed with the naked eye. To do this, release
the R.A. clutch and rotate the main telescope around the
R.A. axis until the reticle is oriented with the sky. For larger
optical tubes, you may need to remove the tube from the
mount to prevent it from bumping into the mount during
this procedure.
7. Now use the azimuth adjustment knobs and the latitude
L-bolt on the mount to position Polaris inside the tiny circle
on the finder’s reticle. You must first loosen – only very
slightly! – the knob underneath the mount head on the
center support shaft to use the azimuth adjustment knobs.
Once Polaris is properly positioned within the reticle, you
are precisely polar aligned. Retighten the knob under the
mount and lightly tighten the altitude lock knobs on the
sides of the mount.
Additional Note Regarding Focusing the Polar
Axis Finder Scope
The polar axis finder scope is normally focused by simple
rotation of the eyepiece focus ring. However, if after adjust-
ing the focus ring you find that the image of the reticle is
sharp, but the stars are out of focus, then you must adjust the
focus of the polar axis finder’s objective lens. To do this, first
remove the polar axis finder from the mount by unthreading
it. Look through the polar axis finder at a star (at night) or
distant object at least 1/4 mile away (during daylight). Use the
eyepiece focus ring to bring the reticle into sharp focus. Now,
loosen the focus lock ring (Figure 10) and thread the entire
objective end of the finder inward or outward until images
appear sharp. Re-tighten the focus lock ring. Once the polar
axis finder’s objective lens is focused, it should not need to be
adjusted again.
Powering the Atlas EQ-G
The Atlas EQ-G requires a 12V DC power supply (tip posi-
tive) capable of producing continuous current of 2 amps. We
recommend using a portable rechargeable field battery such
as the Orion Dynamo Pro, or an AC-to-12V DC adapter if you
will be using the mount near a 120V wall outlet.
If using a field battery, use the supplied 12V DC power cable,
which has a male cigarette lighter plug on one end, which
plugs into the battery, and a 5.5/2.1mm right-angle connec-
tor on the other end, which plugs into the power port on the
mount (Figure 14). turn on the battery, then press the power
switch on the mount to the ON position.
Note: The power indicator LED on the mount will begin to
blink slowly when the battery power is low, and rapidly
when the battery power gets extremely low. Recharge or
replace the battery as needed.

7. The SynScan GoTo
Hand Controller
The Atlas EQ-G mount equipped with the SynScan GoTo
hand controller (Figure 13) provides easy, computerized
location of thousands of night sky objects such as planets,
nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and more for viewing through
your telescope. The SynScan GoTo Hand Controller and
internal dual-axis motors and optical encoders allow you to
automatically point your telescope at a specific object, or tour
the skies with pushbutton simplicity. The user-friendly menu
allows automatic slewing to over 42,000 objects. Even inex-
perienced astronomers will find themselves quickly mastering
the variety of features the GoTo hand controller offers in just a
few observing sessions.
For detailed information about the SynScan GoTo Hand
Controller, see the manual for the SynScan.
Autoguiding with the Atlas EQ-G
The Atlas mount is equipped with an ST-4 compatible port
for connecting an autoguiding camera, for use in astropho-
tography. The guide cable supplied with your guide camera
will have an RJ-12 connector that plugs into the autoguider
modular jack on the mount’s drive panel (Figure 14).
For more information about autoguiding, please refer to the
manual that came with your guide camera.
