Hey guys, can you help me? I`ve just bought a polar finder for my CG-5 mount but the finder won´t stay very good atached to the holder due to having only one point to hold it( with 3 screws)! So , when ever you touch the finder,it goes out of collimation! Is there any trick to avoid this or i`m not doing things right? THanks,Emanuel

Emanuel,
Below is pictured a polar scope holder from a CG-4. If yours is similar there should be a rubber O-ring that grips the scope firmly just ahead of the 3 alignment screws. Check to see if the O-ring is still in place. You may have rolled it out of it's groove when you installed the scope. Unscew the pictured unit and see if the O-ring drops out.
Hope it helps, Bob
