Step 4. Attaching Telescope
Attach telescope to mount using the dovetail lock knob (#2).
Step 5. Attaching Optics
Insert 45º diagonal:
Insert diagonal (#6) into the eyepiece side
of the telescope. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.
Insert the eyepiece:
Remove the supplied 25mm eyepiece (#7)
from its container and slide it into the open end of the diagonal.
Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.
Remove the round dust cover lid from the end of telescope.
Use the focus knob
to bring objects into focus. You may need
to turn the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your telescope
for the first time. Always start observing using a lower power
eyepiece (such as the 25mm eyepiece) to get a wider field of
view. Later on you can change to higher powers. (Eyepieces of
higher powers have narrower field of views; it’s more difficult to
locate objects using high-power eyepieces.)
Step 6. Connecting Hand Controller
Plug hand controller into any one of the HBX (handbox) ports on
the mount.
Turn on power. Now you are ready to observe. Use the 4 Arrow
keys (
▲▼◄►
) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left, and Right.
Use the SPEED key to change the slew speed from the slowest
(2X) to the fastest (MAX).
