tripod rests on one leg. Finally, set the tripod
down on all legs, so that it stands straight.
Loosen the three locking clips (11) (Figure 1
+ 4) on the tripod legs, pull each individual
tripod leg out until it has reached the desired
length (see figure 4), close up the locking
clips and set the tripod down on a sturdy, even
surface.
TIP:
A small water level on the accessory tray can
help you position your tripod horizontally.
4. Mounting the tray:
The accessory tray (10) (Figure 1 + 3) must be
positioned with its flat side down in the midd-
le of the tripod leg brace (16) (Figure 1), and
then must be mounted by turning it 60° in a
clockwise direction (Figure 5).
The three projections on the tray plate must
match up to the mounting brackets on the di-
vision bars (12) (Figures 1 + 3) and must snap
into place. If necessary, you may push the tri-
pod leg brace downwards a little.
5. Tube
In order to mount the telescope tube (1) (Fig.
1), loosen the locking screw on the tube
clamp (8) (Fig. 6) and open up the clamp.
Set the tube in the middle of the holder and
snap the clamp shut again. Please screw the
locking screw on the holder tightly, using your
hand only.
Now set the tube (and holder) onto the mount
with the objective opening in the direction
marked (N-marking on the tripod head, nor-
th point and telescope figure on the mount).
Then fasten the tube holder with the clamping
screw of the dovetail adapter on the mount
head (Figure 7).
6. Inserting the Eyepiece
Three eyepieces (18) (Figure 2) and one ze-
nith mirror (19) (Figure 2) come with your te-
lescope. With the eyepieces, you can control
the magnification of your telescope.
Before installing the eyepieces and the zenith
mirror, take the lens cap (21a) out of the eye-
piece holder (6) (Figure 1). Loosen the clam-
ping screws (21) on the eyepiece holder and
insert the zenith mirror. Then screw the clamp
screws (21) back on.
