2.  Store the telescope inside when not in use – it is not 

designed to be weatherproof.

3.  If you do leave the telescope outside during the daytime 

between observing sessions, COVER THE OPTICS! If 
the scope is pointed towards the sun, it may concentrate 
solar energy and damage the telescope or surrounding 
objects and/or injure someone. The optics will also stay 
cleaner if you always cover them.

4.  Clean the optics, if necessary, with an optical brush to 

remove lint/dust, optics detergent for fingerprints and 
cleaning cloth (available separately). A little dust will not 
impact the performance of the telescope.

5.  Refractor optics are robustly supported and unless the 

telescope is abused, should never require collimation 
(alignment).
