Assembly Guide : 80mm Reflector Telescope
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have bought a wonderful telescope. This is a precision optical instru-
ment, and you have many wonderful evenings of observing the night sky ahead of you. This on-line
guide is to help you assemble your telescope properly.
We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process would be
helpful. Since your telescope assembly guide and instruction manual does not have a lot of pictures,
we have put together this online guide to help you assemble your telescope for your first night of ob-
serving.
Once your telescope is assembled and ready to go, the rest is up to you. Learning astronomy is all
the fun anyhow! So let's get started . . .
ASSEMBLING THE TELESCOPE
Step 1 Attach the Alt-Azimuth mount to the
tripod and tighten with the set screw as
shown in Figure 1.

Step 5

OPTIONAL You may insert the angle
prism as shown below in Figure 5, or
you can skip to Step 6. This depends
on the viewing angle you want.
Now you can drop any 1.25" eyepiece
right into the angle prism (or the end of
the main tube) and begin viewing objects.
