Setup Assembling the base NOTE! You additionally need a suitable Phillips screwdriver, an Allen wrench and an open-end wrench or ring wrench for assembling. Use an old carpet or another soft surface to avoid any damages to the component parts. Required IMPORTANT! Note that the studs are height-adjustable.

Setup Fig. 10 Attaching the OTA STEP 8 (Fig. 10): 1. Attach both altitude wheels (Fig. 1, H) with the fixing screws (Fig. 1, T) to the right and left side of the OTA. NOTE! Make sure that the 'noses' on one side (Fig. 10, X) are pointing in the direction of the clamp screws (Fig.
Installing accessories Fig. 12 Inserting the eyepiece (Fig. 12) 1. Insert the 1 ¼" eyepiece (Fig. 1, J) into the eyepiece holder (Fig. 12, 15). 2. Tighten the clamp screw (Fig. 12, 17) slightly. 3. Look through the eyepiece and turn the focusing wheel of the focusing drive (Fig. 12, 13) right or left to focus the image.
Usage Using a Dobsonian telescope 1. Never lubricate the Teflon pads on the ground plate. Your Dobsonian has been designed with some inherent friction. You want the telescope to move easily when you position it, but you also want it to stay in the position you place it. Using any kind of oil, silicone spray, wax, or grease will ruin the performance by causing the telescope to move too easily.

Usage Calculating the magnification The magnification, or power of a telescope is determined by two factors: the focal length of the eyepiece and the focal length of the telescope. Your telescope is supplied with one eyepiece. The focal length of the eyepiece, 25mm, is printed on its side.

Usage Observation Allow for a temperature adjustment for about 90 minutes before starting an observation. Because when bringing the telecope e.g. from a heated car or house to a place outside so called tube seeing may occur. This means that the primary mirror is warmer than the air and will produce air turbulence.

Usage human observer of this planet in 1610 couldn´t know that the planet had rings – he described that Saturn had „ears“. The rings of Saturn mainly consist of billions of icy particles – from tiniest dust up to the size of a house. The biggest division in the rings, the so called “Cassini division”...
Usage Useful tips By the way, you might have noticed something strange when you looked through your eyepiece. The image is upside down, and it is also reversed. That means reading words can be a problem or viewing objects on the ground can be a problem. But it has no affect on astronomical objects. Because of the Earth's rotation all objects seem to drift across the field of view.
Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance Your telescope is a precision instrument that will provide many years of fun. When you are treating this telescope with the same care as for example a expensive camera, it is very unlikely that you will ever need to return it for service or maintenance. Please notice the following rules: 1.

Maintenance and Cleaning direction. Note that these offsets have been performed at the factory prior to shipment of your telescope. It is only necessary for you to confirm that the telescope has not been badly jarred out of collimation, and to perform the final fine-tuning of Step 4, below. To check and, if necessary, set the optical collimation, follow these steps: 1.
