Part I – Construction
1. General/Location
Before you begin assembly, choose a suitable location for your telescope. It is
best to build the telescope in a place where you have a clear view of the skies,
a stable footing and sufficient space around you.
Before beginning assembly, remove all the parts from the packaging, and, using
the diagram, check to make sure no parts are missing.
2. Tripod
Take the tripod (9) out of the box. Carefully open the legs and place the tripod
on a level surface place and lock the accessory tray (13) on the centre knob and
rotate until it snaps in place (No. 3).
Note:
Please do not forget to remove the accessory tray before collapsing the
tripod.
3. Telescope
Loosen the screw (12) in the dovetail mount so that it is completely retracted
(No. 4). Place the telescope with the dovetail in the mount and tighten the
screw. Make sure that the National Geographic logo is upright.
4. Altitude knob
Loosen the vertical knob by rotating it anticlockwise, align the optical telescope
tube (1) horizontally and retighten the knob (No. 5).
5. Mount
Place the mount base's mounting holes on the tripod's mounting screws and
tighten them (No. 6).
