1. Unpacking
The entire telescope will arrive in one box. Be careful unpack-
ing the box since some of the contents are small and easy to
overlook. We recommend keeping all original packaging. In
the event you need to ship the telescope to another location,
or return it to Orion for warranty repair, having the proper
packaging will help ensure that your telescope will survive the
journey intact.
Make sure all the parts in the parts list are present. Famil-
iarize yourself with their features and compare them to the
callouts on Figures 1, 2, and 3 when possible. If anything
appears to be missing or broken, immediately call Orion
Customer Support (1-800-676-1343) for assistance.

elcome to the exciting world of amateur astronomy. Your new Observer 60mm EQ Refractor is a qual-
ity optical instrument that will deliver countless hours of exciting stargazing, from magnified views of the
Moon, star clusters and nebulas to glimpses of Jupiter’s moons and Saturn’s rings. The Observer 60mm
includes everything you need to go from box to backyard in less than half an hour.
These instructions will help you set up, use and care for your new telescope.
Warning: Never look directly at the Sun through
your telescope or its finder scope—even for an
instant—without a professionally made solar
filter that completely covers the front of the
instrument, or permanent eye damage could
result. Young children should use this telescope
only with adult supervision.
