11. Dismantling the Telescope
Hopefully your observation session will have
been interesting and successful; afterwards, it
is recommended to store the telescope in a dry
and well-ventilated room. Please do not forget
to place the lens caps back onto the front tube
opening and the eyepiece holder. All eyepieces
and optical accessories should also be stored in
their respective containers.
TIP:
The inverting lens is not suitable for astronomi-
cal observation. Here, work with just the zenith
mirror and an eyepiece. For terrestrial observa-
tions and for viewing nature, you may use the
inverting lens with an eyepiece.
