Assembly Guide : 76mm Cassegrain 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 to help you assemble your telescope properly.
We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process are
helpful. We have put this guide together to help you assemble your telescope for your first night of
observing.
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
Necessary Parts
For Assembly:
1x Telescope Tube
1x Telescope Tripod
2x Eyepieces (one is aached
to the telescope)

Step 1 Remove the tripod from the box, and
extend the legs as shown in Figure 1
below.
Figure 1 – Extending the tripod legs.
Step 2
Use the hand screw beneath the tripod’s
mounting point to screw the telescope in
to place. The viewing end of the tripod
should be facing away from the handle.

Step 3
Figure 3 - Mounting the telescope.
Unscrew the handle to loosen the
up-down motion of the tripod. Set the
tripod level and screw the handle in to
tighten as show in Figure 2.

Step 4
Figure 4 – Adjusting the lens and mirror
If no light is viewable through the
eyepiece, you may need to align the
inner mirror. Simply twist the lens
pictured in Figure 4 one full rotation,
while viewing through the eyepiece.
Stop once you see light.
To change eyepieces, simply
unscrew the current one to remove it.
Then screw in the other eyepiece until
snug.
