ASSEMBLY 6. Set latitude: It is easier to adjust the latitude before you attach the weights and place the tube on the mount. Locate the latitude scale (28, Fig. 1d). Note that there is a triangular pointer above the scale on the mount. The pointer is not fixed.
ASSEMBLY Getting Started Balancing the telescope To ensure that the telescope is secure and stable on the tripod and moves smoothly and evenly, it must be balanced. To balance the telescope, open the RA clamp (33, Fig. 1d). When the axis is free, the telescope rotates around the RA axis.
GETTING STARTED Aligning the viewfinder The LED viewfinder must be adjusted before use. This means that the "viewing direction" of the LED viewfinder and the optical tube must be matched: 1. Remove the dust caps from your telescope. 2. If you have not already done so, attach the eyepiece holder (2, Fig. 1b) to the screw thread of the tube end.
GETTING STARTED Use accessories Eyepieces The main function of a telescope eyepiece is to magnify the image pro- duced by the main optics of the telescope. Each eyepiece has a specific focal length, which is specified in millimetres (mm). The smaller the focal length, the greater the magnification.
OBSERVATION Observation Observation with manual operation IMPORTANT NOTE: Objects viewed through the view- After the telescope is assembled and balanced as described, you are finder appear upside down and ready for manual observation.
