  • Page 7: Construction Of The Telescope

    CONSTruCTION Of The TeleSCOPe The telescope consists of optical  tube assembly (OTA) (), German equatorial mount (), a tripod (3). The optical tube is a basic  component of the telescope. It includes all main optical units such as a primary mirror, a diagonal mirror and a focuser.
  • Page 8 The minimum 30 magnification is  obtained when the eyepiece is set into a focuser. Having established first the Barlow  lens and than the eyepiece, the 90 magnification is obtained. Having established the plug  into the Barlow lens, then the eyepiece, the maximum 30 magnification is obtained.

    ObServaTIONS The equatorial mount is designed  for pointing the telescope at the celestial objects and tracking their movement. The equatorial mount consists of  the polar axis (5) and the axis of declination (3). All operations of pointing OTA at ...
  • Page 12 Maximum magnifications help observing some details on the  Luna and planets, some double stars and the elements of star accumulations. Telescope’s mirror is very sensitive to abrupt temperature changes,  this is why let the mirror acclimatize first while observing outside in winter season.

  • Page 13: Collimation (Alignment) Of The Optics

    COllIMaTION (alIGNMeNT) Of The OPTICS As any other the primary mirror of a telescope needs collimation (alignment) from time to time*. This simple operation can be  performed by everyone. Remove the Barlow lens and the eyepiece out of the focuser drawtube and check the reflection of primary mirror in the secondary one.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    MaINTeNaNCe In order to keep telescope in good operating condition one should provide good care and maintenance for the instrument. Improper cleaning of the aluminized mirrors can scratch their  coatings, so one should use blower bulb or special brush to remove dust from the surfaces.

  • Page 15: Storage

    STOraGe The telescope must be kept in a clean, dry (humidity must not  exceed 80%), dust-free place with an ambient temperature between +5° and +40°C. Avoid collision and shaking of the telescope.  It is prohibited to store acids, alkalis, and any chemically active ...
