Assembly Guide : 50mm Compact Refractor Telescope
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have bought a wonderful telescope. This is a precision optical instrument,
and you have many wonderful evenings of observing the night sky ahead of you. This guide is
meant to help you assemble your telescope properly.
We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process are
helpful. That’s why we’ve included this assembly guide, full of pictures to help you along.
Once your telescope is assembled and ready to go, the rest is up to you. Learning astronomy is
tons of fun, so let’s get started . . .
Step 1: Insert Eyepiece into Angle Prism
The first step is super simple! Locate one of your Eyepieces and the Angle Prism. Make
sure the small set screw on the Angle Prism is loosened enough so that the silver end of
the Eyepiece slides right in (Figure 1). Then, simply tighten the set screw to secure the
two together (Figure 2).
