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 contain differing instructions for the differing
telescope models.
Before you begin construction, choose a suitable location for your tel-
escope. It is best to build this appliance 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 secure screws finger tight. Do not over-
tighten screws.
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 (No. 5).
3. Mounting and tripod
Securely fasten the mount (9) and tripod together. Insert the mount into the
tripod head (16), and push the screws (15) with washers through the drilled
holes in the tripod head and the mount fasteners (No. 6). Add a second
washer and a butterfly nut to each screw, and tighten the nuts to permanently
affix the mount to the tripod.
NOTE!
Make sure the fastening devices (22) for the accessories
tray on the tripod legs face inward.
