10
adjustable on the ball hinge 5,6 by means of adjusting screws 7. The
corrector assembly is mounted in the telescope tube.
Eyepiece set
(fig.3) consists of focussing mechanism, diagonal mirror, set of
symmetrical eyepieces f'=25mm and f'=10mm fixed in the mounting of 31.8mm
(1.25), Barlow lens mounted in the same one.
Finderscope 6
(fig.1) is a telescope with 8x magnification and view field 7°.
The equatorial mounting
(fig.5) comprises the polar axis unit 5 and
declination axis unit 9 that are perpendicular each other. The declination axis
unit is provided with the bracket 7 for telescope tube on the one side and with
the movable counterweight 10 on the other side to adjust the telescope balance.
The pole finder 3 inside the polar axis unit is provided to align the mounting
with the polar axis. The polar axis unit is attached to the bracket 1 provided
with the latitude scale. The alignment to polar axis is ensured by means of
elevation gear 2 and direction gear 12.
The mounting is provided with the watch drive inside for automatic tracking
a celestial object at specified speed.
Each of axis units is provided with the setting circle 4, 8 to define the right
ascension and declination angles of an object viewed.
The buttons 2 of the control console (fig.7) select three tracking rate: they
are the celestial, solar and lunar speeds; and the buttons 3 can switch on two
adjustment mode which speed up or slow down the tracking with factor 2.
The control console is connected to the mounting by means of plug 5. The
control console is provided with the local lighting activated by the button 4.
Pier 3
(Fig. 1) consists of a pipe with three supports 4.
The tripod
(Fig. 2) allows to adjust a height of telescope and to fix each leg
of tripod with the help of stops 1 and 2. It is completed with table 3.
Supply unit 7
(a step-down transformer) is designed for converting of voltage
supply mains 220V, 50 Hz (or 110V, 60Hz) in to the voltage supply 12V which
is necessary to supply a safe operation of telescope.
