The StarSeeker IV 150mm Maksutov-Cassegrain GoTo 
Telescope (#13166, 

Figure 1) is a new addition to the 

StarSeeker IV line and not included in the instruction manual 
(IN 542 Rev A) for the StarSeeker IV series of telescopes. 
It is similar to the StarSeeker IV 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain, 
but has a larger aperture optical tube assembly. One feature 
specific to the StarSeeker IV 150 Mak-Cass is a 2" visual back 
adapter with a 2"-to-1.25" adapter. This allows the user to use 
either 2" or 1.25" diagonals and eyepieces with the 150mm 
Mak-Cass, for added versatility 

(Figure 2)

To install a 2" diagonal, first remove the 1.25" adapter by 
loosening the two thumbscrews on the 2" visual back, then 
insert the barrel of the diagonal. Secure it in place with the two 
thumbscrews. Then insert an eyepiece into the diagonal and 
secure it with the thumbscrew(s) on the diagonal. 
To insert a 1.25" diagonal instead of a 2" diagonal, leave the 
1.25" adapter in the 2" visual back, and insert the barrel of the 
1.25" diagonal into the 1.25" adapter. Secure it in place with 
the thumbscrew.

Warning: 

Never look directly at the Sun through 

your telescope—even for an instant—without a 
professionally made solar filter that completely 
covers the front of the instrument, or permanent eye 
damage could result. Young children should use this 
telescope only with adult supervision.
