Detailed Assembly; Lens Accessories; Set Up Tripod And Accessory Tray; Attach Telescope Tube - Bushnell Voyager 78-9960 Instruction Manual

no tools are required for assembly of your telescope.
Remove all components from the carton and identify all parts It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in
front of you before assembly. Since your telescope is a precision optical system, the components require
careful handling—particularly the Sky Tour Handset, Telescope, Eyepieces and various accessories.

set up tripod and accessory tray

1. Stand the Voyager Illuminated Mount Assembly with pre-attached tripod legs on a level surface. Spread
the tripod legs to their fullest position.
2. Fold down the accessory tray braces and place the Quick Release Accessory Tray on top of the braces.
3 .Insert accessory tray bolt through the center of the accessory tray braces and tighten accessory tray bolt
into the accessory tray brace.

open end of the telescope tube.
4. Attach low power eyepiece.
a. For Reflector Telescopes, insert eyepiece directly into the focusing tube mechanism.
b. For Refractor Telescopes, insert eyepiece into the diagonal mirror, then insert the diagonal mirror into
the focusing tube mechanism.

lens accessorIes

Barlow lens (select Models)
Some Voyager with Sky Tour units come with a Barlow lens. This accessory will allow you to now have dual use
of any eyepiece. Simply put the Barlow lens between the focusing mechanism and the eyepiece for reflector style
telescopes, or the focusing mechanism and the diagonal mirror on refractor style telescopes. Depending on the
specification written on the Barlow lens, these accessories can double or even triple the magnification of the eyepiece
when used with it. Remember, low power is always recommended, but higher powers are good especially on bigger
and brighter objects such as the moon and planets.
