Congratulations on your purchase of an Ambassador telescope. The Ambassador Series is made of the
highest quality materials to ensure stability and durability. All this adds up to a telescope that gives you a
lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance.
These telescopes were designed for the discriminating buyer. The brass finish of the Ambassador series,
along with the attractive mahogany wood used for the tripod, were designed to be a decorative piece in the
home, office, or anywhere to show off its vintage style. In addition, your telescope is ideal for terrestrial
observing.

Brass optical tube with brass fittings. Note that minor surface imperfections are normal with this metal.
•
Smooth functioning, rigid altazimuth mount with easy pointing to locate objects.
•
Standard accessories supplied for terrestrial observing.

Can be used for casual astronomical observing.
Your telescope is designed to give you years of fun and rewarding observations. However, there are a few
things to consider before using your telescope that will ensure your safety and protect your equipment.
Warning
x
Never look directly at the sun with the naked eye or with a telescope (unless you have the
proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
x
Never use your telescope to project an image of the sun onto any surface. Internal heat
build-up can damage the telescope and any accessories attached to it.
x
Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the
telescope can cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass
through to the eye.
x
Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, either when children are present or adults who
may not be familiar with the correct operating procedures of your telescope.
