How to assemble the telescope
First, check if your telescope is comparable to version 1 or version 2 (pages 4 and 6). Before you get
started with the assembly, you should take some time to decide where you would like to set up your
telescope. It is important that you choose a place from which you have an uninhibited view of the sky,
where the fl oor is hard and even, and where you have enough space around you so that you feel com-
fortable. When you've found the ideal spot, you can begin the assembly.
Version 1
Open the locking clips on the tripod legs (10). Then pull the lower parts of the tripod legs (11) down-
ward as far as they will go. Finally, close the locking clips again (Fig. 1). You can change the height of
the tripod at a later time by making the tripod legs a bit shorter (again, opening the locking clips, adjust-
ing the legs, closing the clips).
Connect the telescope (1) to the tripod by pushing the telescope connecting piece (8) into the holder
on the tripod head (9) (Fig. 2). Screw the locating screw for the vertical fi ne adjustment (12) into the
holder in order to fi rmly connect both parts.
