For night sky observing without H-alpha unit: 

 
Loosen the 3 knurled screws between the red H-Alpha unit and the focuser. Now the focuser can be 
removed from the telescope. 
Loosen the 3 knurled screws between the red H-Alpha Unit and the telescopic tube. Now you can remove 
the H-Alpha unit from the telescope. 
Now install the focuser at the tube of the telescope. 
Now you can use the LS60MT for normal sky observation, it is now a 2-lens ED refractor with 70mm 
aperture and 420mm focal length. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Inside the transport case you will find two protection caps for the H-Alpha unit. Now attach these protection 
caps to the H-Alpha unit to protect it from dust and damage. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

The LS60MT can now be used for night sky observation with normal accessories such as star diagonals, 
eyepieces and cameras. Here for example with a BRESSER 2" star diagonal:
