Introduction 

 

 

Congratulations

 on your purchase of a new

 OR9000 

telescope. With proper care and 

handling of your telescope, you will enjoy the pleasure of looking at nature’s wondrous 
sights through the eye of this instrument for many years. 
 
Your telescope has been designed to provide views of the moon’s craters, Jupiter’s 
major moons, and Saturn’s rings, in addition to dozens of galaxies, star clusters, and 
nebulae.  
 
To obtain the best performance from your telescope, please read this manual carefully 
and completely.

NOTE: 

When you remove the cradle rings and the protective plastic bag from the 

telescope tube there may be a residue on the tube. To remove this residue use a warm, 
soapy cloth and carefully clean the area, being careful not to let water enter the tube. 
Dry completely with a soft towel and then buff with a soft cloth. You may polish the tube 
with a good quality spray wax. Do not spray the wax directly onto the tube. Spray it 
lightly on the polishing cloth. Do not use excessive force as scratches may result.
