Installation and Adjustment Procedure for the Portable Pier and PlaneWave CDK 17 Telescope

Abstract

The purpose of this document is to highlight the initial steps necessary to mechanically set up and configure the PlaneWave CDK-17 in preparation for operational use. PlaneWave (www.planewave.com) acted as systems integrator during the specification, manufacture, and shipment of the telescope. These instructions outline the mechanical assembly, setup, and orientation of the portable pier (PPR), the Mathis fork arms, and the PlaneWave optical tube assembly (OTA).
