3. Find the mounting screw on the telescope (located underneath). Loosen it and set the telescope on the mount.
Insert the screw in the holes on the telescope and the mount. Carefully tighten it. Attention! Do not overtighten
the screw as you may accidentally damage the screw thread.
4. Loosen the finderscope mounting screws and slide it in the finderscope base. Carefully tighten the screws. The
finderscope should be installed in a way so it points in the same direction as the telescope tube.
5. In the box with your telescope you will find two eyepieces. The lower the number on the eyepiece, the higher the
magnification. It's better to start observing using an eyepiece with low magnification and wide field of view.
6. The diagonal mirror
especially helpful for terrestrial observations.
Mount assembly
Mount without a fork (fig. 2a):
•
On the lower part of the tube, there is a mounting plate with a threaded hole. Align it with the fastening screw of
the tripod.
•
Screw the tripod fastening screw into the hole on the tube mounting plate in order to secure the telescope tube.
•
Do not overtighten the screw because you might accidently damage the screw thread.
Fork mount (fig. 2b):
•
Remove the locking screw from the slow-motion control rod.
•
Insert the rod into the hole on the side of the fork mount.
•
Place the telescope tube between fork arms so that holes on the tube match the arm holes. Fasten the telescope
tube to the mount with thumbscrews.
•
Fasten the other end of the rod to the telescope tube by inserting the screw through shaft and tube holes and
tightening it.
How to start observing
Before you start exploring the Cosmos, you should learn to operate the telescope during the day. First, observe
different terrestrial objects — houses, trees, antennas on the rooftops and many others! This way you will learn to
control the telescope and focus on desired objects. Besides, it's a lot of fun!
Attention! The telescope should be used in a place protected from the wind. When you get to observing the Moon,
planets and stars at night, remember to choose locations away from street lamps, car lights and window lights. Try to
observe on nights when the stars shine bright and evenly.
Point the telescope at the desired object, for example, the Moon. Looking through the finderscope, slowly move
the tube until the object is in the center. Now look through the eyepiece and you will see the image of the object
magnified many times!
When working with the telescope, be careful and patient. Don't push it and don't move it from its place. After some
training you will learn to move the telescope tube without losing the object from the sight of the eyepiece.

T1, T2: telescope, 2 eyepieces, erecting eyepiece, optical finder, diagonal mirror, aluminum tripod.
