ASSEMBLY

is not fixed. It moves as soon as the mount moves. Determine the latitude of
your observation location. You can find information on this in our accompa-
nying booklet (download via link on p. 2) or take a look at the atlas. Loosen
the pole height clamp ( Fig 1d, 25) and turn the pole height adjustment
screw ( Fig 1d, 27) until the pointer indicates the desired width. The adjust-
ment screws work by an adjustment and counter mechanism (i.e. before you
tighten one, loosen the other). Once the pointer shows the width you want,
tighten both screws until they make contact with the mount.
7. Attaching the optics tube to the mount (bracket): Unscrew the locking

screw (B, Fig 8) on the prism holder until you can comfortably insert the
prism rail (11, Fig 1a) of the optics tube into the dovetail base of the rail
(A, Fig 8)(Fig 8a). Then retighten the locking screw (B, Fig 8) firmly.

8. Positioning of the tube: Hold the optic tube firmly. If not done directly

during insertion, now move the tube (10, Fig 1a) within the prism hol-
der until its position corresponds to the holder on the title page. Then
retighten the locking screw (B, Fig 8). For more information, see the
chapter "

Balancing the Telescope

9. Attaching the LED viewfinder: Mount the viewfinder shoe (A, Fig 9)

on to the optics tube (B, Fig 9). Loosen the side clamping screws (C,
Fig 9) on the LED viewfinder and slide the viewfinder onto the bracket.
Carefully retighten the clamping screws so that the viewfinder is moun-
ted on the bracket without slipping.
The LED viewfinder must be aligned with the telescope after installation
and before first use. Please read the chapter

"Aligning the LED view-

finder".

10. Battery in LED viewfinder (Fig 10): The pre-installed battery in the LED

viewfinder is protected against discharge by a plastic plate. Remove the
plastic plate before the first use.
To change the battery, first push the battery compartment out of the
side. Remove the dead battery and insert a new one into the compart-
ment.

IMPORTANT!
Only use a button cell of the type CR2032. When inserting, note the correct
position of the battery poles (+/-).

11. Insert the eyepiece (Fig 11) for straight viewing mode: Remove the

dust cap from the eyepiece holder. Place the dust cap in a safe place
and replace it when you have finished observing to prevent dirt from
entering the telescope. Loosen the knurled screw and insert the sup-
plied eyepiece (C, Fig 11) into the eyepiece holder (A, Fig 11). Then
hand-tighten the screw again so that the eyepiece is firmly seated.

12. Insert the zenith mirror (Fig 11): Recommended at zenith height for a

more comfortable neck-friendly view. The zenith mirror (B, Fig 11) is
inserted into the eyepiece holder (A, Fig 11). Then insert the eyepiece
(C, Fig 11) into the receptacle of the zenith mirror. After inserting the
zenith mirror and eyepiece, retighten the corresponding fixing screws
well so that all parts are securely fixed in position.

13. Adjusting the tripod height: Adjust the tripod by loosening the locking

screws (Fig 12) on the tripod. Then pull the inner tripod legs to the
desired length. Then tighten the screws again. Adjust the tripod to a
height that makes observing as comfortable as possible.

Fig 8a: Insert the optical tube with
the prism rail into the prism holder
and fix it in place.
