1. Your telescope has adjustable (telescoping) legs (Fig. 1).
2. Stand tripod and spread legs. Loosen the three leg clamps. Grab tripod head and
lift. Extend the tripod legs to the desired height (at equal lengths) and tighten the
clamps on each leg to hold it in position (Fig. 1).
3. Attach the accessory tray (P) to the center leg braces on the tripod legs (Fig 2)
and insert accessory tray and bolt through center of tray into braces and tighten
bolt.
4. Remove telescope main body from the box. Attach telescope main body (H) by
aligning the hole in the telescope saddle with that in the yoke.
5. Remove the finderscope (G) with finderscope bracket (F) attached from the
box. Position the finderscope bracket on the telescope main body (Fig. 3).
6. (Refractor models) Put an eyepiece (H25mm) into the diagonal, then attach
the diagonal to the telescope, tightening the retaining screws (Fig. 4). (Reflector
models) Insert eyepiece into focusing tube and tighten set screw to begin
viewing.
NOTE (Refractor Models only): In all astronomical telescopes, the image appears
upside down. With the use of the diagonal the image appears erect but with a left
to right inversion (mirror like). To use the telescope for terrestrial view and to
correct the mirrored image, remove the diagonal and replace with the erecting
eyepiece (fig 5). We recommend the use of the low magnification eyepiece when
the telescope is used for terrestrial viewing. Only refractor telescopes come
with erector eyepieces. Reflectors (mirrors) are used mainly for astronomical
purposes.
The telescope is now fully assembled and ready for use.
7. To use the Barlow, insert Barlow (Fig. 5) into the focus tube. Secure by tightening
small retaining screw. Insert eyepiece into open end of Barlow and secure.
CAUTION!
Do not view the sun with this telescope or even with the naked eye.
1. The StarPointer is the quickest and easiest way to point your telescope exactly
at a desired object in the sky. It's like having a laser pointer that you can shine
directly into the night sky. The star pointer is a zero magnification pointing tool
that uses a coated glass window to superimpose the image of a small red dot into
the night sky. Like all finderscopes, the StarPointer must be properly aligned with
the main telescope before it can be used.
2. To turn on the StarPointer, rotate the variable brightness control clockwise
until you hear a "click." To increase the brightness level of the red dot, continue
rotating the control knob about 180° until it stops.
3. Locate a bright star or planet and center it in a low power eyepiece in the main
telescope. If the StarPointer is perfectly aligned, you will see the red LED dot
overlap the alignment star. If the StarPointer is not aligned, take notice of where
the red dot is relative to the bright star.
