(EXOS-1/EXOS-2 mount on ST-2 tripod)
Telescope Assembly
As you unpack your telescope, carefully note the following parts. The
assembly is shipped in separate boxes.
• Equatorial mount with polar alignment finder
Heavy duty, adjustable steel tube tripod with leg braces, three tripod leg
lock knobs, and a captive mount locking knob
Optical tube assembly, dust cover, focuser, eyepiece holder, tube cradle
assembly and fixing screws
• Eyepiece
• Diagonal prism (only for AR models)
Counterweight and counterweight shaft
• 8x50 / 6x30mm viewfinder
How to Assemble Your Telescope
The giftboxes contain the optical tube assembly and its components, the
tripod with the equatorial mount and the accessories.
1. Remove the components from the packaging and familiarise yourself
with them. Please refer to illustrations 1a to 1d for details of telescope
assembly. When removing the tripod from its packaging keep it parallel
to the floor as the inner legs may otherwise slide out as they are not yet
screwed tight.
2. Locking the tripod legs. Spread the legs until the spider vanes of the
accessory plate are tautened (illustration. 3).
3. Fastening the spacing plate in place. To fasten the central screw (illustra-
tion 4, A) on the tripod first screw the tensioning screw (illustration 4, B)
on. This can be screwed right down as it serves to clamp the spacing
plate against the tripod legs. You can now insert the plate (illustration 4,
C) from above on the central screw. Make sure the plate bars (illustration
4, D) show downwards.
Attention:
It‘s important the following step is applied to avoid any damage to the
thread.
To prevent the threaded rod (illustration 4, E) being screwed into the mount
too far use the gapping washer (illustration 4, F) supplied. Insert it from
above on the threaded rod so that the wider chamfered side shows down-
wards. The spacing ring must be on the threaded rod „step“. Now push the
threaded rod from below through the tripod base and slide the C-clip (illus-
tration 4a, A) on the recess (illustration 4a, B) in the threaded rod
4. Fastening the mount on the tripod head. Place the mounting on the
tripod head. Make sure the projection on the tripod is between the azi-
muth adjustment screws (illustration 5). To do so first loosen the azimuth
screws sufficiently to allow space for the projection. Place the mounting
on the tripod top in such a way that the projecting cylinder on the base
fits into the hole in the tripod base centre and fasten it in place using the
central screw. Tighten the screw hand tight.
5. Fastening the counterweight on the counterweight rod: insert the base
of the counterweight rod (20, illustration 1d) on the threaded end of the
rod and screw it on the counterweight rod (22, illustration 1). Then screw
both in the thread on the base of the declination axis and counter screw
rod to base. If you look through the large drill hole in the counterweight
Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye!
