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
• Aluminum tripod with an accessory tray
• Two 1.25" eyepieces: MA25mm (28X),
MH9mm (78X)
• 2x 1.25" Barlow lens
• Diagonal mirror
• Red dot viewfinder with bracket
• Telescope mount
The tube has a focal length of 700mm, and
its objective lens has a diameter of 60mm.
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. The focal length will
help later on to calculate magnification.
Setting up your telescope involves these
simple steps:
• Assemble your tripod
• Attach the accessory tray
• Attach the optical tube to the mount
• Attach the red dot viewfinder
• Attach the diagonal mirror and eyepiece
• Align the red dot viewfinder
Study the the picture on the next page and
become acquainted with the parts of your
telescope. Then proceed to “Assemble
your Tripod.”
