 Hoist in position for the lift |  Thread the harness lines into place and adjust |
 Crank the winch - up it goes... |  Start moving toward the mount (or bring the mount under the scope) |
 Getting close |  A nudge here, a wiggle there... and we're in |
 Install the bolts - snug everything down |
 Relax the tension - unclip the harness |
 Stow the harness with the Velcro straps |  Roll the hoist away. We're done! |
 ALT/AZ is just as easy. See the links on the right. |
