1. unpacking
The entire mount will arrive in three boxes, one containing
the tripod, one containing the equatorial mount and one con-
taining the hand controller. Be careful unpacking the boxes.
We recommend 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 packaging 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 anything appears to be missing or broken, immediate-
ly call Orion Customer Support (800-676-1343) or email
support@telescope.com for assistance.

Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Orion mount.
Your new Sirius EQ-G mount works with many different
optical tubes. Designed for astronomical use, the Sirius EQ-G provides a solid, stable foundation for precise navigation of the
night sky. The internally-housed, dual-axis stepper motors provide smooth slewing and tracking of any celestial object. With a
little practice, you’ll find that the Sirius EQ-G mount is an invaluable tool for getting the most out of your astronomical observing
sessions.
These instructions will help you set up and properly use your equatorial mount. Please read them over thoroughly before getting
started.
