Part I—Set Up
1. General/Location
Before you begin construction, choose a suitable location for your telescope.
It is best to build this telescope in a place where you have a clear view of the
skies, a stable footing and sufficient space around you.
Before beginning construction, remove all the parts from the packaging, and,
using the diagram, check to make sure no parts are missing.
NOTE
Important: Only hand-tighten screws. Do not overtighten.
2. Tripod
The tripod legs are preinstalled and already connected to the tripod head (No. 1,
9) and tripod brace (No. 1, 16). Remove the tripod from its packaging and place
it upright, with the feet at the base. Take two of the legs and carefully pull them
apart until they are in the fully open position. The entire weight of the
tripod rests on one leg during this procedure. Then set the tripod upright again.
Now extend each individual tripod leg to the desired length (No. 4) by loosening
the fastening clips (No. 4, X). Tighten the fastening clips to hold the legs at the
desired length, and place the tripod on a hard, flat surface.
i HINT
A small spirit level placed on the accessory tray (No. 1, 10)
may help you set up your telescope so that it's level.
