Part I—Construction
1. General/Location:
These instructions detail the assembly and use of refracting and
reflecting telescopes with equatorial mountings (also called German
mountings). Parts of these instructions contain differing instructions
for the differing telescope models.
Before you begin construction, choose a suitable location for your
telescope. It is best to build this appliance in a place where you have
a clear view of the skies, a stable footing and sufficient space around
you.
Before beginning construction, remove all the parts from the packag-
ing, and, using the diagram, check to make sure no parts are missing.
