1.2.5 Using the shaft extension. Release the Lock
(shaft) – (F), so that the central metal shaft can
slide up and down. Make sure to re-tighten after
choosing the required position – figure 7.
1.2.6. Tilt the telescope base. There is an
additional possibility that allows tilting the
camera base. This is only necessary to fix the
telescope or a camera to the tripod. Release
the Lock (tilt) – (I) so that the Lock (telescope)
– (G) hand knob is accessed easily – figure 8.
2. 2. Getting Started.
2.2.1. First step is to fit the optical tube to the
tripod. Proceed as mentioned before in 1.2.6.
by tilting the telescope base (A). Use the Lock
(tilt) – (I) to tighten firmly the optical tube to
the tripod. The telescope dovetail (10) is also
Vixen-Style compatible and makes this
telescope compatible with many other
advanced mounts. The telescope should be
pointing in relation to the tripod has shown in
figure 10.
Make sure the grip (C) is pointing to the same side as the drawtube (5).
Did you know?
The Vixen-Style dovetail (10) with ¼”-20 camera thread makes the optical tube compatible with many
other more advanced mounts such as equatorial mounts and can even be used as a guide scope for
astrophotography.
