Fig. 9.

Setting concentricity of mirrors:

1 - finner diameter of focusing mount; 2 - diagonal mirror;

3 - reflection of primery mirror in the diagonal mirror;

4 - reflection of diagonal mirror in the primary one; 5 - observe's eye

The adjustment of the telescope is delicate and is carried out only in

case of emergency, when it is clear that tile telescope is misadjusted

and its mirrors and reflections from them are not concentric.
