1. The up and down (altitude or vertical) is controlled by
the altitude locking knob (Figure 7). The knob can
tighten the altitude so it cannot move but normally it
should be slightly loose so you can move the telescope
up or down slowly. The best way to move the telescope
up and down is to have one hand on the tripod head
and the other hand on the diagonal and move it to
where you want.
2. You can make fine adjustments in altitude by using the
altitude fine adjustment knob – Figure 9. Turn the knob
in either direction for finite movement when the altitude
locking knob is tightened.
3. The side-to-side (azimuth or horizontal movement)
is controlled by the azimuth knob (Figure 8). A small
thumbscrew to the left of the azimuth knob locks the
azimuth movement. When you loosen the thumbscrew,
you can then move the telescope freely in azimuth by
turning the azimuth knob. Alternately, you can move the
telescope in azimuth (when the thumbscrew is loosened)

nSTalling The Tar
The star diagonal is a prism that diverts the light at a right
angle to the light path of the telescope. This allows you
to observe in a position that is more comfortable than if
you had to look straight through. Also, the diagonal can
1. Insert the small barrel of the diagonal into the eyepiece
adapter of the focus tube on the small end of the
telescope optical tube – Figure 12. Make sure the
thumbscrew on the eyepiece adapter does not protrude
into the focuser tube before installation and the plug up
caps are removed from the eyepiece adapter.
2. Put the small barrel end of one of the eyepieces into the
diagonal and tighten the thumb screw – Figure 11.
Again, when doing this make sure the thumbscrew
is not protruding into the diagonal before inserting the
eyepiece and remove all caps.

by placing one hand on the tripod head and the other

4. When both knobs (altitude and azimuth) are loose you
can find your objects easily (through the finderscope)
and then tighten the knobs when the object is centered.

1. The altitude (up/down or vertical) movement is controlled
solely by loosening the altitude locking knob and then
tighten it slightly for small movements – Figure 10.
2. The azimuth (side-to-side or horizontal) movement does
not have a lock knob and freely moves whenever you
want to move it.
3. The easiest way to move the telescope around to find
an object you are looking for is to hold the tripod head
with one hand and hold the diagonal with the other
hand and then move the telescope as you desire.
note: Before tightening the altitude locking knob, the
location you are seeking should be located in the
finderscope.

be rotated to any position which is most favorable for you.
The star diagonal corrects the image to be right side up
(erect image) but the image is reversed left-to-right. To
install the diagonal and eyepiece:
3. The eyepieces can be changed to different powers by
reversing the procedure in step 2 above.
