Introductory words about this telescope and
its use
This telescope from BRESSER is a versatile and high-resolution optical
instrument. It shows nature in even greater, detailed detail. First and fore-
most, it is designed to study the starry night sky. For example, it can be
used to view Saturn with its distinctive rings at a distance of 1.3 billion
kilometres. But also other planets or the moon, nebulae, star clusters and
even far away galaxies beyond the borders of our solar system can be
seen with this so called Newtonian telescope.
The handling of the mirror optics as well as the equatorial mount require a
little training time in advance, in order to exhaust all the possibilities of the
telescope. It is therefore recommend to study the operating instructions
and the additional literature carefully. It's worth it! With the included acces-
sories, however, simple observations can already be made once the first
steps have been correctly set up and carried out.
Description of the components (according to Fig.
1a-1d)
1 Eyepiece clamp screw : fixes the eyepiece in place (see point 3). Only a
sensitive tightening is required.
2 Eyepiece holder: the eyepiece is inserted here.
3 Eyepiece: place the supplied eyepiece in the holder provided and fix it
in place with the knurled screw (1). The eyepiece magnifies the image
captured by the telescope.
4 Viewfinder 6x30: a telecope with low magnification and wide field of
view with crosshairs that helps to align objects to the center of the
telescope’s eyepiece.
5 viewfinder adjustment screws: use these screws to align the finder
scope with the telescope.
6 Viewfinder tube lens and counter ring: Use the lens mount to focus the
viewfinder (see chap. “Aligning the viewfinder”, point 3). The viewfinder
is equipped with a small dust cover located at the front end.
7 viewfinder holders: fixes the viewfinder in place.
8 Focus wheel: causes a fine movement of the focussing drive to ensure
a precisely focused image. The telescope can be focused in a range
from about 150m to infinity. Turn the focus wheel slowly to focus on
objects.
9 Dust cover (w/o fig.): prevents dust from entering the tube and settling
on the mirrors inside, which can affect image quality.
NOTE:
The dust cover should be replaced after each observation. However, first
make sure that all the dew that has accumulated during observation has
completely evaporated before replacing the dust cover.
10 Optical tube: The most important optical component. The tube contains
the main optics and thus collects the light from distant objects and
brings it together in a focal point so that it can be observed through the
eyepiece.
11 Prism rail: is being attached to the mount (see chap. "Assembly", pt. 7).
13 Tube clamping screws (2 pieces) with washers.
14 Pipe clamps with carrying handle
Screw on tightly. Tighten the nuts firmly to secure the viewfinder holder for
in place (see 4). Read more on page 10.
16 N/A
17 Declination/DEC clamping: influences the manual movement of the
telescope. Turn the DEC clamp counterclockwise to release the
telescope clamp. You can then rotate the telescope freely around the
declination axis. By turning the DEC clamp clockwise (hand-tighten
only), you prevent the telescope from being moved manually.
18 Right ascension axis (RA) pitch circle: More information in the accom-
panying booklet (download via link on p. 2).
