Meade Instruments StarPro AZ Serie Mode D'emploi page 3

INTRODUCTION
Your telescope is an excellent beginner's
instrument, and is designed to observe
objects in the sky and also on land. It can
be your personal window on the universe or
allows you to intimately study the behavior of
nesting birds on a distant hillside.
The telescope is shipped with the following
parts:
Optical tube
Alt-azimuth mount with slow motion
controls
Aluminum tripod with integrated accessory
tray
Three 1.25" eyepieces:
MA26mm, MA9mm, MA6.3mm
90 degree erect-image diagonal prism
2X Barlow
Red-dot viewfinder with bracket
Smart Phone Adapter
The StarPro™ AZ series of telescopes come
in several sizes (apertures) of optical tubes.
The heart of the optical tubes is the front
lens. It collects and focuses the incoming
light from distant objects.
The lens diameter is one of the most important
pieces of information about the telescope.
The size of the objective lens determines how
much detail you will be able to see in your
telescope.
Each optical tube also has a focal length
which is the distance the light travels inside
the optical tube before it comes to focus.
The focal length information is also important
and will help later on to calculate magnifica-
tion.
Setting up your telescope involves these
simple steps:
Study the picture on the next page and
