Thank you for buying one of our Dobsonian range of telescopes. The following will give you all the
information you need to allow you to assemble, use and, maintain your telescope. If you carry out the
procedures correctly the telescope will give you many years of faultless usage. Please take note in
particular of the details on care of optics, if these notes are ignored or not carried out properly, damage
to the optical coatings could result. Please read through this document before commencing assembly
of the telescope, familiarise yourself with the names of the major components. And finally, when
assembled, above all, enjoy it.
This section will show you the main parts of the telescope and their function within the telescope.
Nearly all the parts on all the range have the same name and function but, because of differing model
sizes, the actual shape of the part often varies.
Shown here is a typical model with most external components labelled. Certain items are shown in
greater detail.
