Part I – Construction
1. General/Location
These instructions detail the assembly and use of refracting and
reflecting telescopes with alt-azimuthal mountings.
Parts of these instructions hence contain differing instructions for the
differing telescope models.
Before you begin construction, you must choose a suitable
location for your telescope.
It will help you, if you build this appliance in a place, where you have a
clear view of the skies, a stable footing and sufficient space around you.
Remove all the parts from the packaging first. Check, using the diagram,
whether all the parts are there.
NOTE!
Important: Only do the screws up finger tight and avoid
over tightening them.
2. Tripod legs
First pull the centre of the three legs (13) out to the desired length.
Then screw the fastening screws (11) into the legs and tighten them
(Fig. 5).
3. Mounting + tripod
To securely fasten mounting (9) and tripod together the mounting must
first be inserted in the tripod head (16).
To do so the screws (15) with washer must be pushed through the drill
hole in the tripod head and the fastening on the mount (Fig. 6). The
second washer and butterfly nut are then put on the screw and the nut
tightened. Do the same with the other two fastening devices, The mount
will then be permanently affixed to the tripod.
NOTE!
Make sure the fastening devices (21) for the
accessories tray on the tripod legs face inward.
