How to work with the telescope
It is very important to assemble the telescope correctly so it works the right way. Examine the telescope carefully.
Try to remember the names of its parts, where each part goes and what it's needed for. It's better to assemble the
telescope with adult help.

Open the box and put out all the parts. Double-check the box when it's empty – some small parts might still be in there.
Spread the tripod legs and install it on a flat surface so it is stable. The tripod height is adjustable.
Find the mounting screw on the telescope (located underneath). Loosen it and set the telescope on the mount. Insert the
screw in the holes on the telescope and the mount. Carefully tighten it. Attention: Do not overtighten the screw as you may
accidentally damage the screw thread.
Loosen the finderscope mounting screws and slide it in the finderscope base. Carefully tighten the screws. The finderscope
should be installed in a way so it points in the same direction as the telescope tube.
In the box with your telescope you will find two eyepieces. The lower the number on the eyepiece, the higher the
magnification. It's better to start observing using an eyepiece with low magnification and wide field of view.
The diagonal mirror is installed in the focuser before the eyepiece; it turns the image upside down, which is especially
helpful for terrestrial observations.

How to start observing
Before you start exploring the Cosmos, you should learn to operate the telescope during the day. Use the 18mm erecting
eyepiece to observe different terrestrial objects
—
houses, trees, antennas on the rooftops and many others! This way you
will learn to control the telescope and focus on desired objects. Besides, it's a lot of fun!
Attention: The telescope should be used in a place protected from the wind.
CAUTION! Never look at the Sun and the sky around it through a telescope! It can ruin eyesight and even cause blindness!
When you get to observing the Moon, planets and stars at night, remember to choose locations away from street lamps, car
lights and window lights. Try to observe on nights when the stars shine bright and evenly.
Point the telescope at the desired object, for example, the Moon. Looking through the finderscope, slowly move the tube until the
object is in the center. Now look through the eyepiece and you will see the image of the object magnified many times!
When working with the telescope, be careful and patient. Don't push it and don't move it from its place. After some training
you will learn to move the telescope tube without losing the object from the sight of the eyepiece.
The telescope kit includes:
telescope, 5mm and 10mm eyepieces, 2x optical finder, diagonal mirror, 65
—
115mm aluminum tripod.

Compact binoculars
Each person has their own interpupillary distance (the distance between the eyes); that's why it's so important to correctly
adjust it to enjoy the most comfortable observations. Take the binoculars with both hands and bring them to your eyes. Hold
the binoculars so that you can see one circle with both eyes.
Adjusting interpupillary distance
Choose the object you want to observe. Slowly rotate the focusing wheel while looking through the eyepieces until the image
you see is clear.
Focusing
The binoculars kit includes:
binoculars, pouch, cleaning wipe, strap.
