We have included several accessories that will make the use of the telescope easier and fun, please
take a look at the list of the parts so you can identify them in the future.

2. Getting Started
It is very simple to get started. Here is how the
telescope works. The telescope main lens should
point to the object being observed. The mirror
on the back of the tube will gather the light
coming from the object and reflects it to the
secondary mirror that brings it to the eyepiece.
The focuser tube moves up and down to get a
precise focused image. At the focuser one can
use the supplied accessories. Different accessory
combinations give different results, such as
different image magnifications or correct image.
But all this will be explained in detail in the next
pages.
3. Assembly
Start by setting the tripod. Open the tripod legs as shown (figure 2). Place the supplied accessory
tray (figure 3). The accessory tray can be used to place the telescope accessories such as the
eyepieces, filters etc. Next place the equatorial mount on top of the tripod (figure 4), the mount will
bear all the weight of the telescope so it is important to thread it securely. Thread the counterweight
shaft as shown (figure 5), it fits the threaded hole on the Right Ascension (R.A.) axis. Remove the
foot-saver (the screw and washer – figure 6) from the shaft’s end and slide in a Counterweight. Make
sure to use the counterweight’s locking knob so that it is securely fastened. You can leave it at half
the shaft length for now.
ATTENTION!
Never look at the Sun through a
telescope. Concentrated Sun light may cause serious
eye injury. Children should use only with adult
supervision.
