declination is figured from 0 to 90° with a division value of °. Circle
positioned on the polar axis (the circle of hour angles) is figured from
0 to 24 hours with a division value of 0 minutes.
The declination axis
has braking screw 2 and mechanism 2 of
slow motion which moves the tube in the range of ±4°. By using this
mechanism it is possible to correct the position of the object in the field
of view. The equatorial mounting is connected to the pier.
Pier 7
(fig. ) consists of a pipe with three supports .
The tripod
(fig. 2) allows to adjust a height of telescope and to fix each
leg of tripod with the help of stops and 2.
Supply unit 9
(fig. )
powers the watch drive tracking the celestial
objects. It is designed for 220 V/ 50 Hz (0V/60Hz) mains and activated
with the key. If the control panel is provided the car’s mains or storage
battery 2 V can be used through the car’s cable.
The control panel
(fig.6) is designed to select modes of watch drive
by means of buttons 2. The watch drive provides the sun, celestial and
moon speed modes. The control panel is equipped with the local lighting
which can be switched on by button 4.
The reflecting telescope is the Newton optical system
(fig. 7).The
parallel beam of rays enters the telescope tube, falls on the primary
mirror and, after reflecting from it deflect by diagonal mirror 3, at 90°
and is viewed with the help of the eyepiece 2.
