CAUTION! Never look directly at the Sun — even for an instant — through your telescope or nderscope without
a professionally made solar lter that completely covers the front of the instrument, or permanent eye damage
may result. To avoid damage to the internal parts of your telescope, make sure the front end of the nderscope
is covered with aluminum foil or another non-transparent material. Children should use the telescope under adult
supervision only.

All parts of the telescope will arrive in one box. Be careful when unpacking it. We recommend keeping
the original shipping containers. In the event that the telescope needs to be shipped to another
location, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope survives the
journey intact. Make sure all the parts are present in the packaging. Be sure to check the box carefully,
as some parts are small. No tools are needed other than those provided. All screws should be tightened
securely to eliminate exing and wobbling, but be careful not to overtighten them, as that may strip
the threads.
During assembly (and anytime, for that matter), do not touch the surfaces of the optical elements
with your ngers. The optical surfaces have delicate coatings on them that can easily be damaged if
touched. Never remove lenses or mirrors from their housing, or the product warranty will be null and
void.

Levenhuk Skyline BASE Telescopes

Telescope optical system and construction

Levenhuk Skyline BASE is a series of easy to use entry-level telescopes. These telescopes are perfect
for kids and beginners in astronomy. Reectors are good for studying solar system and bright deep­sky objects, while refractors are suitable for planetary observations as well as for studying terrestrial
objects.

This user manual is applicable to several refractor (g. 1a) and reector telescopes (g. 1b) on alt­azimuth mounts. Read the user manual carefully to nd the information about the assembling and
adjustment of your telescope model, and carefully follow the instructions.

Tripod assembly

• Slowly loosen the tripod locking knobs and gently pull out the lower section of each tripod leg.
Tighten the screws to hold the legs in place.

• Spread the tripod legs apart to stand the tripod upright.

• Adjust the height of each tripod leg until the tripod head is properly leveled. Note that the tripod
legs may not be the same length when the mount is leveled.

• Place the accessory tray on top of the bracket, and secure it with thumbscrews from underneath
(g. 2a) or secure the accessory tray with one screw in the middle of the tray (g. 2b).

Mount assembly

Fork mount (g. 3a):

• Remove the locking screw from the slow-motion control rod.

• Insert the rod into the hole on the side of the fork mount.

• Place the telescope tube between fork arms so that holes on the tube match the arm holes. Fasten
the telescope tube to the mount with thumbscrews.

• Fasten the other end of the rod to the telescope tube by inserting the screw through shaft and tube
holes and tightening it.

Mount without a fork (g. 3b):

• Remove the altitude lock knob from the mount head.

• Place the telescope optical tube on the altazimuth mount so that the hole in the optical tube lines
up with the hole in the mount head.

• Insert the altitude lock knob through the mount head and optical tube. Make sure the hole is clear all
the way through before tightening the knob. Secure the altitude lock knob.

Optical accessories assembly

Your telescope can be equipped with additional accessories, such as eyepieces, diagonal mirror or
prism, or a Barlow lens. The accessories should be installed in well-dened ordering.

Refractors (g. 4a): Loosen the focuser thumbscrew. Insert the diagonal mirror into the focuser tube
and retighten the thumbscrew to hold the diagonal mirror in place. Then, insert the desired eyepiece
into the diagonal mirror and secure it by retightening the thumbscrew. If a Barlow lens is needed,
install it between the focuser and the eyepiece.

Reectors (g. 4b): Loosen the focuser thumbscrew and take o the plastic cap from the focuser tube.
Insert the selected eyepiece and secure it by retightening the thumbscrew. If a Barlow lens is needed,
install it between the focuser and the eyepiece.

Optical nderscope assembly and alignment

Unthread two screws in the back of the telescope tube. Place the nderscope base above the holes on
the tube. Lock the nderscope base into position by tightening the screws (refractor 5a, reector 5b).

Optical nderscopes are very useful accessories. When they are correctly aligned with the telescope,
objects can be quickly located and brought to the center of the view. Turn the scope end in and out to
adjust focus (g. 6).

To align the nderscope, choose a distant object that is at least 550 yards (500 meters) away and point
the telescope at the object. Adjust the telescope so that the object is in the center of the view in
your eyepiece. Check the nderscope to see if the object is also centered on the crosshairs. Use three
adjustment screws to center the nderscope crosshairs on the object (g. 7).

Operating the mount

The AZ mount is an alt-azimuth mount that allows you to rotate the telescope about the vertical and
horizontal axes and change its altitude and azimuth. To adjust the azimuth, loosen the big locking knob
under the mount base and rotate the tube left or right about the axis then retighten it. To adjust the
altitude, loosen the altitude adjustment knob and rotate the tube. For more precise motions use the
altitude slow-motion control. Due to Earth’s movement, the objects will be constantly shifting out
of your view, so you will have to adjust the altitude and azimuth of your telescope to continue your
observations (g. 8).

Reference materials usually list declination coordinates in degrees, hours and minutes above or below
the horizon line. Azimuth coordinates may sometimes be listed with the compass points (N, SW, ENE,
etc.), but it is more commonly listed in degrees around the 360-deg plane, where north is 0°, east is
90°, etc.

Focusing

Slowly rotate the focus knobs one way or the other until the image in the eyepiece is sharp. The image
usually has to be nely refocused over time due to small variations caused by temperature changes,
exures, etc. Refocusing is almost always necessary when you change an eyepiece, add or remove a
Barlow lens (refractor 9a, reector 9b).

Camera adapter

To attach a camera to your telescope you may need an adapter to get the camera focused. Some
refractors are designed to be used with diagonal mirrors and thus need a longer focal length when used
with camera. To achieve that, simply attach an extender to the focuser of your telescope and then
attach the camera with a T-adapter to the extender (g. 10).

Care and maintenance

• Never, under any circumstances, look directly at the Sun through this device without a special

lter, or look at another bright source of light or at a laser, as this may cause PERMANENT

RETINAL DAMAGE and may lead to BLINDNESS.

• Take necessary precautions when using the device with children or others who have not read or who
do not fully understand these instructions.

• Do not try to disassemble the device on your own for any reason, including to clean the mirror. For
repairs and cleaning of any kind, please contact your local specialized service center.

• Protect the device from sudden impact and excessive mechanical force.

• Do not touch the optical surfaces with your ngers. To clean the telescope exterior, use only special
cleaning wipes and special optics cleaning tools from Levenhuk.

• Store the device in a dry, cool place away from hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from
heaters, open re and other sources of high temperatures.

• Replace the dust cap over the front end of the telescope whenever it is not in use. This prevents dust
or dirt from settling on the mirror or lens surfaces.

• Children should use the telescope under adult supervision only.
