4. Accessories tray
Model (No. 3a): Hold the accessories tray (10) against the fastening
devices (22) on the tripod legs. Screw the three butterfly screws (12)
from below through the fastening devices in the tray (No. 7a).
Model (No. 3b):
First unscrew the fastening screw for the accessory tray (12). Now
insert the accessory tray (10) as seen in Fig. (No. 7b) Lastly screw
the fastening screw (12) in the middle tightly, to secure the accessory
tray (10).
5. Tube
Hold the telescope's main tube (1) as shown, in the middle of the
alt-azimuth mount (9), and screw the screws (8) into the tube from
both sides (No. 8).
6. Vertical fine adjustment
To mount the vertical fine adjustment (17), first push the adjustment
rod through holding device (X) on the mount (No. 9a).
Then undo the screw (Y) for the adjustment rod, and insert it on the
other end of the rod. Then tighten it in place (No. 9b).
Important: Do not overtighten the vertical fine adjustment fasten
ing screw. If you do, the main tube will not be vertically
adjustable.
Risk of blindness
Never use this device to look directly at the sun or in
the direct proximity of the sun. Doing so may result in
a risk of blindness.
7. Assembling the finder scope/LED finder scope
Note: The LED finder scope's battery is safeguarded against dis
charge with plastic foil when shipped. The foil must be removed
before first use (No.1d).
7.1. Finder scope installation (type I):
Finder scope with threaded mounting
The finder scope and finder scope mount (No. 1a, 2) are included in
the packaging.
Remove the finder scope mount fastening screws on the main tube
(No. 1a, 14), and set the mount onto the projecting screws on the tele-
scope's main tube. Carefully reinsert and tighten the screws previously
removed to securely fasten the finder scope mount in place.
Now, undo the finder scope adjusting screws (No. 1a, 3) — 3 or 6 of
them depending on finder scope model — until the finder scope can
easily be slid into its mount.
Important: Make sure the finder scope lens points toward the main
tube end (No. 1, 4).
Retighten the screws equally to securely fasten the finder scope in
place.
7.2. Finder scope assembly (type II):
LED finder scope with screw threading
To assemble the LED finder scope (No. 1b, 2), remove the LED finder
scope fastening screws on the telescope's main tube (No. 1c, 14). Set
the LED finder scope onto the projecting screws on the telescope's
main tube. Then carefully reinsert and tighten the screws previously
removed to securely fasten the LED finder scope in place.
Important: Make sure the LED finder scope lens points towards the
main tube end (No. 1, 4).
7.3. Finder scope assembly (type III):
LED finder scope with Quick Insert
The LED finder scope (No. 1b, 2) and mount constitute a single unit.
Slide the foot of the LED finder scope completely into the appropriate
base on the telescope's main tube (No. 10, X). The finder scope mount
will snap in place.
Important: Make sure the LED finder scope lens points towards the
main tube end (No. 1, 4).
7.4. Finder scope assembly (type IV):
Finder scope with Quick Insert
The finder scope and its mount are preassembled and included in the
packaging.
Slide the finder scope mount foot entirely into the appropriate base
on the telescope's main tube (No. 10, X). The finder scope mount will
snap in place.
Important: Make sure the LED finder scope lens points towards the
main tube end (No. 1, 4).
There are two clamping screws (No. 1c, 14) and a spring-loaded
counter screw on the finder scope mount. Evenly tighten the clamping
screws until resistance is felt to securely fasten the finder scope in
place.
8. Aligning the finder scope
8.1 Aligning types I and IV (finder scopes)
The finder scope must be adjusted before use; the finder scope and the
telescope's main tube must be aligned parallel to one another.
Insert the eyepiece with the greatest focal length into the zenith mirror
(12b, refracting telescopes only) or directly into the eyepiece supports
(No. 13, reflecting telescopes only). Point the telescope at a significant
object approximately 300 metres away (e.g. a house gable, church
tower top or building facade) and adjust until the object appears in the
centre of the field of vision (No. 15a, A).
Look through the finder scope and align it by turning the 3 or 6
adjustment screws until the object is visible in the middle of the
crosshairs. The image you previously saw through your telescope lens
must be visible exactly in the centre of the finder scope (2) crosshairs
in order to align properly (No. 15a, C).
HINT
i
Some finder scopes have no integrated optical image
reversion. The image in these finder scopes will be
upside down. This is not a fault.
8.2 Aligning types II and III (LED finder scopes)
The LED finder scope must be adjusted before use; the LED finder
scope and the telescope tube must be aligned parallel to one another.
Insert the eyepiece with the greatest focal length into the zenith mir-
ror (No. 12b, refracting telescopes only) or directly into the eyepiece
supports (No. 13, reflecting telescopes only). Point the telescope at
a significant object approximately 300 metres away (e.g. a house
gable, church tower top or building facade) and adjust until the object
appears in the centre of the field of vision (No. 15b, A).
Then turn the LED finder scope (2) on using the On/Off switch (No. 1b,
Z). Select setting 2 for daytime or setting 1 for nighttime.
Look through the LED finder scope and align it by turning the horizontal
(No. 1b, X) and vertical (No. 1b, Y) adjustment screws until you see the
red dot in the centre of the image (No. 15b, C). The finder scope and
telescope are now aligned.
9. Protection caps
In order to protect the inside of your telescope from dust and dirt, the
tube opening is protected by a dust-protection cap (No. 11, X).
To use the telescope, remove the cap from the opening.
10. Inserting the eyepiece
10.1. On refracting telescopes
Two eyepieces (18) and a star diagonal prism (19) are supplied with
this telescope.
The eyepieces allow you to decide which magnification you want your
telescope to have.
Before you insert the eyepiece and the star diagonal prism, you must
remove the dust-protection cap from the eyepiece connection tube (6).
Loosen the screw (No. 12a, X) on the eyepiece connection tube and
insert the star diagonal prism. Retighten the screw (X) on the eyepiece
connection tube.
