1.  Carefully remove all parts from   

 

the box. When you remove your   

 

telescope from its box, the  

 

 

diagonal mirror and low-power   

 

20mm eyepiece are already  

 

 

fitted. It is recommended that you  

 

start viewing the moon and stars  

 

with the 20mm eyepiece because  

 

it gives you the widest angle with  

 

the brightest and sharpest views.

2.  Stand the tripod vertically and    

 

spread the three legs fully apart.

3.  Adjust the angle of the telescope  

 

by first releasing the bolt 

 

(see right) and wing nut 

 

that secures the 

 

telescope tube to the 

 

tripod bracket. Move 

 

the telescope as  

 

 

 

desired and secure 

 

with the bolt and wing 

 

nut, being careful not 

 

to over-tighten.

 NOTE:

 Objects will 

 

appear right-side up in 

 

your telescope, but reversed, 

 

like a reflection in a mirror. 

 

This is normal and does not  

 

 

indicate a problem.

4.  For greater magnification,  

 

 

release the thumbscrew securing  

 

the 20mm eyepiece, remove and  

 

replace with the 10mm eyepiece.
