Description:

1. Main tube 6. Azimuth mount

2. Angle prism 7. Tube securing screw

3. Eyepiece tube 8. Tripod leg

4. Tube for star diagonal 9. Eyepieces

5. Focusing system

OPERATING INSTRUCTION:

1. Secure the main tube (1) in the azimuthally mount (6) and adjust it with the securing screw (7)

2. Insert the angle prism (2) into the tube (4) and secure it with the screw.

If the Erecting Eyepiece is used together with the exchangeable 1.5X eyepieces, the following

Magnifications can be achieved:

Eyepieces and theoretical maximum magnification:

Eyepiece Magnification Magnification

1.5x with

6mm 60X

Erecting Eyepiece

90X

20mm 18X

ALTITUDE - AZIMUTH MOUNTING:

27X

The telescope is equipped with an altitude-azimuth mounting (N), i.e. it can be moved vertically

(Altitude) and horizontally (azimuth).

WHICH MAGNIFICATION?-SELECTING THE CORRECT EYEPIECE:

The magnification is the ability of the telescope to make the image seem larger or to seem closer to the viewer.

Example:

Focal length 360mm/eyepiece focal length 6mm=magnification 60X

The optimum magnification depends on what you are looking at. As a rule of thumb, the best image

Results from using a magnification, which is not more than 1.5X-2.0X the diameter of the objective lens. For observation of most heavenly bodies, a magnification of 75X-100X can be achieved with a 50mm objective lens.

A lower magnification should be used for the observation of the stars.

This provides a wider field of view and simplifies aiming the telescope at the desired object.

The maximum magnification should be used only for particularly clear objects such as the moon, which is relatively close to the Earth and very bright, permitting good resolution of details at high magnification.

ERECTING EYEPIECE:

The 1.5X Erecting Eyepiece not only increases the magnification of telescope but also correct the

Direction of the image. For example, a telescope, which has a magnification of 60X, will have a magnification of 90X when a 1.5X

Eyepiece is used. Moreover, when the telescope is used to view landscape, the erecting eyepiece can straighten out the image. This erecting eyepiece is to be inserted in the eyepiece tube (3) of the telescope.

GENERAL NOTES:

Avoiding exposing the telescope to sudden temperature changes, as this can result in fogging of the

Objective lens (as moistures condenses on it) If this should happen, place the object lens close, but not too close, to a source of heat and wait for the moisture to evaporate.

CAUTION:

TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES, NEVER VIEW THE SUN OR

ANY OTHER OPTICAL DEVICE WITH THE TELESCOPE
