A: At first glance, it may look like you are missing the 3 screws that adjust your secondary mirror, however we are
using Allen headed threaded inserts (screws) and they are recessed in the thread holes on the outside of the
secondary mirror (FIG 1). Use a 1/16” Allen head wrench (as shown in FIG 2) to make the adjustments.

A: Some PowerSeeker EQ models have two accessory rings that are needed to attach the optical tube to the EQ
mount. On the top of one of the rings is a threaded stud with a thumbwheel. This is designed to allow the
attachment of a camera with a ¼-20 threaded insert. The ¼-20 thread pitch is standard in the photographic
world. This is very beneficial when used in conjunction with the optional AstroMaster/PowerSeeker Motor Drive
(part #93514) for sky tracking. This ¼-20 mount is not used to attach your telescope to the EQ mount and is not
needed for using your telescope in the traditional manner.
