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 astrono-
mical observation. Here, work with just the
zenith mirror and an eyepiece. For terrestrial
observations and for viewing nature, you may
use the inverting lens with an eyepiece.
