Operating Instructions
Telescope Movement:
For more drastic movement move the equatorial mount, and for minor slight
movements move the telescope main body with the degree references. Refer to
the image for reference.
In order to move the telescope horizontally (left to right):
1. Rotating entire Equatorial Mount: Loosen Horizontal Axis Lever and
use the Short Control Cable to pan the Equatorial Mount horizontally
(left to right). After you set the telescope in the desired position tighten
the Horizontal Axis Lever.
2. Rotating Telescope Main Body with Degree Reference: Loosen
the Polar Axis Lever and use the Long Control Cable to pan the
Telescope Main Body horizontally (left to right) and use the Longitude
Scale for degree adjustments. After you set the telescope in the
desired position tighten the Polar Axis Lever.
In order to move the telescope vertically (up and down):
1. Moving Equatorial Mount: Loosen Declination Axis Lever and
Declination Axis Clamp and use the Counterweight to move the
telescope to the desired position. After you set the telescope in the
desired position tighten both the Declination Axis Lever and the
Declination Axis Clamp.
2. Moving Telescope Main Body with Degree Reference: Loosen
Latitude Lever and use Counterweight to move the Telescope Main
Body vertically (up and down) and use the Latitude Scale for degree
adjustments. After you set the telescope in the desired position
tighten Latitude Lever
Adjusting the Finder Scope:
Since the telescope has a limited field of view, it can be quite difficult to locate
a given star or planet. For this reason the telescope is fitted with a finder scope
with reticule for orientation. It is advisable to complete the following settings in
daylight.
1. Insert the eyepiece with the lowest magnification in the Zenith mirror
or Zenith prism. Look at a stationary easily recognizable object that
is not further away than 300m. Turn the telescope with the horizontal
axle, and move the vertical axle until the object is in the middle of the
field of view, and then focus the image. Tighten the adjusting screw
on the mount so that the telescope remains in this position (the higher
the object is above the horizon, the easier it is to locate).
