To set up the tripod, locate the tripod legs (5) and the telescope optical tube (11).
Remove the tripod from the box and spread the legs apart until the center leg brace is fully extended.
1. Extend the inner portion of each of the three tripod legs to the desired height. Tighten the thumb screw on the
side of each tripod leg to secure them in place. See Figure 1
2. After all the screws have been hand-tightened, you are ready to attach the telescope tube to the mount.
Remove the altitude locking screw (3) from the tripod head (4).
3. Place the telescope tube on the altazimuth mount so that the hole in the mounting platform (2) lines up with
the holes in the tripod head (4).
4. Insert the altitude locking screw (3) through the tripod head (4) and mounting platform (2) and tighten the
retaining nut to the other side of the screw.

Your telescope comes with the following optical accessories:
• Star Diagonal .96"
• 20mm eyepieces .96"
• 12mm eyepieces .96"
• 4mm eyepiece .96 "
• 3x Barlow Lens .96"
1. Remove the caps from the focuser and the diagonal .
2. Insert the chrome end of the diagonal into the focuser (Figure 3) and lock into place by tightening the thumb
screws on the focuser.
3. Remove caps from the eyepiece and place it into the diagonal (Figure 4). Lock it into place with the thumb
screw.
4. Your telescope also comes with a 3x Barlow lens which triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece (see
Magnification section of the manual). To use the barlow lens, remove the diagonal and insert the barlow lens
directly into the focuser. Then start by using the low power eyepiece such as the 20mm, and insert it either
directly into the barlow lens or into the diagonal. See Figure 5.
