Unpack your telescope and verify that all parts are present. 
Your AstroMaster LT 70AZ includes: a telescope tube, a 
tripod and mount head, two eyepieces, a StarPointer™ Red 
Dot Finderscope, an Star diagonal, a smartphone adapter, and 
Bluetooth shutter remote.

All three legs should be the same length to provide a level 
platform for the telescope.

Here is how the fully assembled tripod and mount 
should appear.

To set up the tripod, spread the legs outward until they 
are fully extended. Extend each of the three tripod legs 
down 6-12”.

To attach the accessory tray, line up notches and turn clock-
wise until tray tabs lock into place with the tripod brackets.

Next, slide telescope tube into the mount. Be sure to back out 
fastening screws to allow enough clearance for the dovetail.

Use the three tightening screws located at the bottom of each 
leg to secure the extended legs in place.

Properly assembled, the accessory tray should appear as  
pictured above.

Center dovetail in the mount and tighten fastening screw. For 
added security tighten the angled lock down screw next to the 
fastening screw.
