Positioning the Telescope 1) Begin by aiming the telescope up at about a 45-degree angle. This will prevent the secondary mirror or HyperStar lens from falling out during installation.

4) Carefully remove the secondary mirror assembly from the front of the telescope. Do not touch the surface of the mirror itself. 5) Place the secondary mirror assembly into the secondary mirror holder. Note the notch on the side of the secondary holder which accepts the small screw on the side of the mirror assembly.

Collimating the HyperStar Lens The HyperStar incorporates a simple collimating system. The three pairs of screws around the base of the HyperStar push and pull to tilt the lens and correct for any alignment error. Warning: Keep in mind that the three pull screws (shown below) hold the lens in place on the telescope.

Adjusting Camera Position The third set of screws (labeled above as ) allow the HyperStar and camera to be ROTATE rotated into a different orientation for the purpose of framing objects. Loosen the three screws slightly. The nylon bushings will allow the lens to rotate with the screws still somewhat snug.
