INTRODUCTION 

Congratulations! You have bought a wonderful telescope. This is a precision optical instrument, and 
you have many wonderful evenings of observing the night sky ahead of you. This guide is to help 
you assemble your telescope properly. 

We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process are help-
ful. We have put this guide together to help you assemble your telescope for your first night of ob-
serving. 

Once your telescope is assembled and ready to go, the rest is up to you. Learning astronomy is all 
the fun anyhow! So let's get started . . .
