Assembly Guide : 50mm Compact Refractor Telescope
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have bought a wonderful telescope. This is a precision optical instrument,
and you have many wonderful evenings of observing the night sky ahead of you. This guide is
meant to help you assemble your telescope properly.
We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process are
helpful. That’s why we’ve included this assembly guide, full of pictures to help you along.
Once your telescope is assembled and ready to go, the rest is up to you. Learning astronomy is
tons of fun, so let’s get started . . .
Step 1: I E A P
The first step is super simple! Locate one of your Eyepieces and the Angle Prism. Make
sure the small set screw on the Angle Prism is loosened enough so that the silver end of
the Eyepiece slides right in (Figure 1). Then, simply tighten the set screw to secure the
two together (Figure 2).

with the set screw.
Step 2: I A P F T
The small end of your 50mm Compact Refractor Telescope is called the Focusing Tube.
Just like the previous step, you are simply going to insert the silver end of the Angle
Prism as shown in Figure 3, into the corresponding opening in the Focusing Tube.
Secure in place with the set screw as shown in Figure 4.
Step 3: A T T
Locate your Tripod and pull the central piece connecting the three legs downward until
the legs are fully spread apart. This central piece should be parallel to the table or surface
the Tripod is placed on.
Next, you will want to remove the Large Hand Screw and corresponding nut from the
boom of the Telescope as shown in Figure 5. Place the Telescope on the Tripod Base
making sure to line up all the holes and push the Large Hand Screw back through and
secure with the nut as shown in Figure 6.
Now just point and look!

You did it. Now go enjoy your telescope. You probably will want to align the sighting
scope during the daytime because it is easier. You should do this outside and point the
telescope at something at least 50 yards away. Objects will be seen upside down through
the eyepiece. This is normal! When you are looking at distant stars, it won’t maer if
they are upside down. We do sell an “erecting” eyepiece if you want to see images right
side up.
