With the included accessories attached
to the Apertura Dobsonian Telescope,
balance is achieved with these initial
settings (see pictures).
NOTE
:
When other accessories are attached
to the OTA, the balance point may change and
appropriate adjustments to this these settings
may be required
.
Move the OPTICAL TUBE over onto
the BASE HOUSING assembly.
TIP
: The metal seam of the telescope
tube should be turned to the side of
the base that has the handle (BASE
FRONT).
TIP
: The flat sides of the SILVER SIDE
BEARING ASSEMBLIES should be facing
up (flat).
TIP
: Tightening or loosening the black,
plastic knobs of the side bearing
assemblies is how you will adjust the
tension of the bearings. If excessive
tension is required to balance the
telescope (e.g. because of heavier
eyepieces/accessories), then you may
need to adjust the balance point of the
bearing assemblies as described in
Step 2 above.
