TELESCOPE ASSEMBLY
1. Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. READ THROUGH ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTION BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE
2. Set-Up Tripod, Mount and Accessory Tray
• Select one Tripod Leg (5) and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section (6). Using Tripod Leg Lock Screws (9)
included in the hardware pack, insert the Tripod Leg Lock Screw into the lower brackets on the Tripod
Leg. Tighten the Tripod Leg Lock Screws so that the middle section is securely in place. Repeat on
remaining two legs.
• Locate the Altazimuth Yoke Mount (3). Note: Before assembling tripod legs
to Altazimuth Yoke Mount, make sure the Accessory Tray Braces(7) face
inward. Locate the long bolts and washers from the hardware pack.
Position the mount over the Tripod Leg (5) as shown (fig. 1). and align the
holes in the Tripod Leg with the holes in the mount. Insert the bolts
through the holes at the top of a Tripod Leg. A washer should be
positioned on both outer sides of the Tripod Leg. Attach a wing nut to
the bolt, but do not tighten it all the way. Repeat on the remaining two
Tripod Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount,
securely tighten all wing nuts.
• Locate the Accessory Tray (8). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts
and washers ( 3-_” bolts, 6-_ washers and 3 - wingnuts) connect the Accessory
Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (7). Start with one Tripod Leg and attach wingnut. Wingnuts should
be positioned beneath the Accessory Tray. Do not tighten wingnuts until all Accessory Tray Braces are
attached as some adjustments may be required.
1. Attach Telescope and Finderscope
• Locate Telescope Main Tube (2). Secure telescope to Altazimuth
Yoke Mount (3) by removing Altitude Lock Knobs (17) and positioning
the telescope between yoke. Carefully replace the Altitude Lock
Knobs and remove lens cover from 60mm Objective Lens (1)
• Locate the Finderscope(16) with pre-assembled Finderscope Mount
(13). Remove the two nuts located near the back of the Telescope
Main Tube (2) and place the Finderscope and Mount assembly over
the exposed screws. Replace the nuts, and securely tighten the
Finderscope Mount in place.

• Locate an Eyepiece (12) (either the 5mm or 20mm) and Diagonal
Mirror (11). Attach the Diagonal Mirror as shown (fig. 2). Insert an Eyepiece into the Diagonal Mirror.
