ASSEMBLING
YOUR
TELESCOPE
THE
MOUNT
The 60AZ tripod and mount come fully assembled, so setting it up
is
easy:
1.
Loosen the hand knobs at the bottom of each leg and extend the inner section of the leg to the desired length.
Tighten the knobs to secure the legs, being careful not to over tighten.
2. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until the center brace snaps into place.
3. Place the accessory tray
on
the center brace so the hole lines
up
with the raised section
in
the center of the brace.
Rotate the tray until the three tabs snap into the locks
on
the leg brace.
THE
TELESCOPE
TUBE
To
attach the telescope tube to your tripod and mount:
1.
Loosen the knob
on
the side of the mount to allow the mount
to
move
left and right easily.
2. Loosen the knob at the end of the panning handle to allow
the mount to move
up
and down easily. Make sure the top of
the mount is level with the ground, and retighten the knob to
secure.
3. Loosen the knob
on
the top of the mount and slide the
dovetail bar
on
the bottom of the telescope tube into the
clamp. Retighten the knob to secure the tube.
THE
STAR
DIAGONAL
Fig.
2
The star diagonal attaches to the back of a refracting telescope that contains a small mirror that reflects the light
at
a 90°
angle, providing a more comfortable viewing position.
To
insert the diagonal:
1.
Remove the caps from both sides of the diagonal.
2. Loosen the setscrews
on
the back of the focuser and pull
out the small dust cap.
3. Insert the smaller tube
on
the diagonal into the back of the
focuser and secure it
by
tightening the setscrews.
You
can rotate the diagonal to
any
position
by
loosening the
setscrews.
You

TELESCOPE
THE
EYEPIECES
Your telescope comes with
two
eyepieces, a low power (20
mm
eyepiece) and a higher power eyepiece
(1
0
mm
eyepiece). Whenever
you
set up your telescope, always start with the 20
mm
eyepiece. Once
you
have
your target
centered
in
the 20
mm
eyepiece,
you
can switch to your higher power 10
mm
eyepiece to get a more detailed view.
Note that because your telescope
is
designed for astronomical use, images of terrestrial objects will appear mirror·
reversed. This
is
perfectly normal.
To
install
an
eyepiece:
1.
Loosen the setscrews
on
the open end of the star diagonal.
2.
Insert the silver barrel of the 20
mm
eyepiece into the star
diagonal.
3.
Tighten the setscrews to secure the eyepiece
4.
To
see the sharpest image possible, you need to focus
by
looking through the eyepiece and slowly turning the focusing
knobs until
you
find the sharpest image.
THE
FINDERSCOPE
The 60AZ comes with a finderscope that
you
will use
as
a sighting tool when aiming the telescope at a distant target.
The finderscope is permanently attached to the telescope tube, but
you
need to install its CR1620 battery:
1.
Make sure that the knob securing the telescope tube
is
fully tightened.
2.
Rotate the knob at the end of the panning handle to allow the mount to move up and down easily. Point the scope
downward and retighten the handle.
3.
Use the included flat triangular slotted screwdriver tool to open the battery compartment. Insert the tool into the slot
on
the battery cover and turn it counterclockwise.
4.
Insert the battery into the compartment with the positive
(+)
side facing
up.
5.
Replace the battery cover using the screwdriver tool.
6.
Loosen the panning handle knob, straighten the telescope so it is level, and tighten the handle to secure.

TELESCOPE
ALIGNING
THE
FINDERSCOPE
The
finderscope helps y
ou
aim
yo
ur telescope
by
looking through the finderscope windows and lining up the two central
dots with your target.
The first time
you
assemble your telescope,
you
need to align the finderscope with the
main
optics of the telescope.
Although this step can be done out
in
the field at night, it
is
significantly easier outdoors
in
daylight. Once
you
have
completed the finderscope alignment,
you
should not
have
to repeat this step unless the finderscope
is
bumped or
dropped.
1.
With the 20
mm
eyepiece installed, take the telescope outside during the day. Using your naked
eye,
find
an
easily
recognizable object, such
as
a streetlight, car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be
as
far away
as
possible,
but preferably at least a quarter mile
away.
2. Position the telescope so that it
is
roughly pointing toward the object
you
chose
in
step
1.
3. Look through the telescope and manually move the it until the object
you
chose lies
in
the center of the view. If the
image is blurry, gently turn the focus knobs until it comes into sharp focus.
NOTE:
The
image
in
the
telescope
eyepiece
wil!
appear
mirror
reversed
left
to
right.
This
is
pertectly
normal
in
an
astronomical
telescope.
4.
Turn
on
the finderscope
by
fl
ipping the red toggle switch.
5. Looking through the finderscope
you
should see two dots surrounded
by
two circles floating
in
the field of
view.
Position your head behind the finderscope so that the two dots merge and appear
as
one and the two circles appear
concentric. Now look for your target
in
the background. The dot will probably be close to, but not
on
top
of,
the
object
you
see when
you
were looki
ng
through the 20
mm
eyepiece.
6. Without moving the telescope, use the two silver adjustment knobs
on
the top the finderscope to
move
the rear dot
until both dots appear over the same object
you
are observing
in
the 20
mm
eyepiece.
Now choose some other distant targets to practice aiming your telescope. Look through the window and place the red
dots
on
the target
you
are trying to view and verify that it is visible
in
the 20
mm
eyepiece of the scope.
With your finderscope aligned, your telescope
is
fully assembled and
you
are
ready to observe!
NOTE:
Be
sure
to
turn
off
the
finderscope
when
not
in
use
to
conserve
battery
power.

YOUR
FIRST
ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVING SESSION
THE
MOON
Now
you are ready
to
take your telescope out at night and do some real observing!
Let's start with the Moon. The Moon takes about one month
go
through a complete phase cycle, from New Moon
to
Full
Moon and back again.
Try
observing it at different points during this cycle.
While you can observe the Moon any time it is visible
in
the night
sky,
the best time
to
view it is from
two
days after a New
Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able
to
see the most detail in craters and lunar
mountain ranges. Consult a calendar
to
find out when the next New Moon will be.
1.
With
a clear view
of
the Moon, set up your telescope with the
20
mm eyepiece.
2. Turn on the finderscope and lookthrough it
to
find the red dots.
3.
Move the telescope until you can see the Moon through the finderscope's
window
and both red
dots
are
centered on the Moon.
4.
Look through the
20
mm eyepiece. Gently turn the focus knobs
to
adjust the sharpness
of
the image.
Unlike fixed targets
on
the ground, astronomical targets appear to move across the sky due
to
Earth's rotation. When you
look at a celestial target
in
your telescope, such as the Moon, itwill slowly drift across the field
of
view
of
your eyepiece.
To
keep the object centered
in
the field of view, you will have to nudge the mount.

To
get
a closer view ofthe Moon, replace the
20
mm
eyepiece with the 1
0 mm eyepiece. It will give you more magnification,
making the Moon appear much larger.
You
may need
to
adjust the focus knobs when you change eyepieces
to
ensure you
are getting the sharpest image.
You
can
vi
ew many other celestial objects, such as planets, star clusters and nebulae using this same basic
te
chnique.
