Introduction:
Begin your adventures in observation with the Discovery 40mm Student
Telescope. This easy-to-use refractor is a great starter instrument for both
daytime nature watching and nighttime moon gazing. Spend an afternoon
visually exploring distant landscape features or getting a closer view of wildlife
without disturbing it. Once the stars come out, visit the chiseled ridges and
craters of the lunar surface or tour some of the night sky’s brightest objects.
For added versatility, the telescope comes with two interchangeable eyepieces,
so you can experiment with different magnifications and fields of view.
Assembly:
Note: We recommend assembling your telescope for the first time in the daylight or in a lit
room so that you can familiarize yourself with assembly steps and all components.
• Find a stable surface, like a table. Set the tripod on the table and open it until
the tripod spreaders are fully extended.
• Snap the telescope tube into the U-shaped clamp on the top of the tripod head.
• Insert the diagonal into the focuser and secure it by tightening the
thumbscrews.
• Place your chosen eyepiece into the diagonal. We recommend starting with the
20mm because it will provide the widest field of view.
