no tools are required for assembly of your telescope.

Remove all components from the carton and identify all parts  It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front 

of you before assembly.  Since your telescope is a precision optical system, the components require careful 

handling—particularly the Sky Tour Handset, Telescope, Eyepieces and various accessories.

Attach low power eyepiece.

4.

For Reflector Telescopes, insert eyepiece directly into the focusing tube mechanism.

For Refractor Telescopes, insert eyepiece into the diagonal mirror, then insert the diagonal mirror into

the focusing tube mechanism.

lens accessorIes

Barlow lens (select Models)

Some Voyager with Sky Tour units come with a Barlow lens.  This accessory will allow you to now have dual 

use  of  any  eyepiece.    Simply  put  the  Barlow  lens  between  the  focusing  mechanism  and  the  eyepiece  for 

reflector style telescopes, or the focusing mechanism and the diagonal mirror on refractor style telescopes. 

Depending on the specification written on the Barlow lens, these accessories can double or even triple the 

magnification of the eyepiece when used with it.  Remember, low power is always recommended, but higher 

powers are good especially on bigger and brighter objects such as the moon and planets.

erecting lens 1.5X (select Models only)

This accessory allows the user to view objects on land as you would naturally see them with your unaided eye.  

To use this accessory, simply place the erecting lens in between your eyepiece and the focusing mechanism 

on your telescope.
