ASSEMBLY

SkyProdigy comes partially assembled and can be operational in

a matter of minutes. SkyProdigy is conveniently packaged in one

reusable shipping carton that contains the following accesso-

ries:

• 25 mm and 9 mm Eyepieces – 1¼”

• 1¼” Star Diagonal (SkyProdigy 70 and 90 only)

• StarPointer Finderscope and Mounting Bracket

• Deluxe Accessory Tray

• TheSkyX First Light Astronomy Software

• Computerized Hand Control

Assembling SkyProdigy

Your SkyProdigy comes in three major sections: the optical tube,

fork arm and tripod. These sections can be attached in seconds

using the quick release coupling screw located under the tripod

mounting platform and the dovetail mounting clamp located on

the inside of the fork arm. To begin, remove all of the accessories

from their individual boxes. Remember to save all of the contain-

ers so that they can be used to transport the telescope. Before

attaching the visual accessories, the telescope tube and fork arm

should be mounted to the tripod. First, install the accessory tray

onto the tripod legs:

1. Remove the tripod from the box and spread the legs apart

until the center leg brace is fully extended.

2. Locate the accessory tray, and place it on top of the tripod

center support brace in between the tripod legs (see gure

2-1).

3. Rotate the accessory tray so that the central hole in the tray

slides over the ange post in the center of the support

bracket.

4. Finally, rotate the tray so that the locking tabs slide under the

locking clips on the support bracket. You will hear the tray

snap into place.

It is a good idea to level the tripod and adjust the height of the tripod

legs before attaching the fork arm and tube. Minor adjustments can

be made later. To adjust the height of the tripod legs:

1. Loosen the tripod leg locking bolt located on the side of

each leg.

2. Slide the inner portion of each leg down 6” to 8” inches.

3. Adjust the tripod height until the bubble level on the tripod

leg is centered (See gure 2-2).

4. Tighten the tripod locking bolts to hold each leg in place.

Attaching the Hand Control Holder

SkyProdigy comes with a snap-on hand control holder that con-

veniently attaches to any of the tripod legs. To attach the hand

control holder simply position the holder with the square plastic

tab facing up and push against the tripod leg until it snaps into

place (See gure 2-3).

Attaching the Fork Arm to the Tripod

With the tripod properly assembled, the telescope tube and

fork arm can easily be attached using the quick release coupling

screw located underneath the tripod mounting platform:

1. Place the fork arm base inside the tripod mounting platform.

2. Thread the coupling screw into the hole at the bottom of the

fork arm base and hand tighten (See gure 2-4).
