7. ORDER OF OPERATION 

  

 

 

 

7.1. Operation with telescope   

Before mounting the telescope it is required to choose a place and prepare a 

site. It must be even and solid. Mount the telescope on the site and check it for 

reliable stability.     

For  pointing  to  an  object  the  telescope  should  be  rotated  about  two  axes.  

For  rotation  of  the  declination  axis  it  is  necessary  to  undo  braking  screw  8 

(fig. 5), rotate the telescope and screw in the braking screw.    

  If  backlash  is  arisen  in  the  worm  gear  it  is  necessary  to  disengage  drive  7 

(fig. 9). For this purpose it is required to take off cover 3, slacken three screws 

8, displace drive 7 upwards and fix it with screws 8.  Remove handwheels 4 after 

unscrewing screws 5. After that slacken screws 6 which fasten worm 9 in the 

bearings. After pressing the worm to worm wheel 0 fix it with screws 6. Mount 

handwheels 4 and secure them with screws 5. Then slacken screws 8, displace 

the motor downwards until engagement with the toothed wheel of the worm takes 

place and secure them with screws 8. Mount cover 3 on the casing.  

The smoothness of rotation of toothed wheel  together with the toothed wheel 

of worm 9 is checked by rotation of the handwheels, in doing so probable sliding 

or jamming of the friction clutch may take place.  

For its adjustment it is required to displace cap 2 and tighten or slacken three 

screws 3. The friction clutch adjustment is considered to be finished if handwheels 

4 rotate smoothly.     

The telescope rotates about the polar axis owing to minor effort and is not fixed. 

The axis is connected to the watch drive with the help of a friction mechanism. 

The celestial sphere and all astronomical objects perform a complete rotation 

for twenty-four hours. As a result the object in the telescope field of view displaces 

constantly.  The  speed  of  its  displacement  increases  with  the  increase  of  the 

telescope magnification. Therefore, the telescope is provided with electric clock 

drive 8 (fig. 5) which rotates uniformly the telescope, which follows the object. 

As a result, in the process of observation the object remains constantly at the 

center of the field of view.  

In the process of observation it is often required to perform minor corrections 

in the diurnal run of the telescope. For this purpose one makes use of handwheels 
4  (fig. 9)  of the polar axis 

 

or the buttons 3 (fig. 6) of the control panel. The 

buttons 3 speed up or slow down the tracking speed of the watch drive relative 

to the nominal providing the correction of right ascension angle. The correction 

modes are activated when one of the buttons 3 is pressed continuously and the
