Safety Information

• Never look directly at the sun through the telescope or its finder scope without a professionally manufactured solar filter. Permanent and irreversible eye damage can result.
• Do not leave the telescope unattended, especially when children are present.
• Handle optical components with care to avoid scratches or damage.
• Ensure the tripod is stable on a level surface before use to prevent tipping.

Package Contents

Verify that all components are present before beginning assembly:

• Telescope Optical Tube (50mm aperture, 360mm focal length)
• Aluminum Alloy Tripod
• Finder Scope (5x20)
• Eyepieces (H20, H6)
• 48° Zenith Mirror (Diagonal)
• Objective Lens Protection Cover

Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the telescope is straightforward and requires no additional tools. Follow these steps:

1. Set up the Tripod: Extend the legs of the aluminum alloy tripod to a stable height. Ensure the tripod is placed on a firm, level surface.
2. Attach the Telescope Optical Tube: Locate the mounting screw on the tripod head. Align the optical tube with the tripod head and secure it using the mounting screw. Tighten the lock knob to hold the telescope firmly in place.
3. Install the Finder Scope: Slide the 5x20 finder scope into its bracket on the main optical tube. Secure it with the small screws on the bracket.
4. Insert the Zenith Mirror: Insert the 48° zenith mirror (diagonal) into the focuser tube at the back of the telescope. Tighten the small thumbscrew on the focuser to hold the diagonal securely.
5. Attach an Eyepiece: Insert either the H20 or H6 eyepiece into the zenith mirror. Secure it with the small thumbscrew on the diagonal. The H20 eyepiece provides lower magnification and a wider field of view, suitable for initial object location. The H6 eyepiece provides higher magnification for detailed observation.

Operating Instructions

1. Aligning the Finder Scope

The finder scope is a small, low-power telescope mounted parallel to the main telescope. It helps locate objects before viewing them through the main eyepiece. To align it:

1. Point the main telescope at a distant, stationary object (e.g., a treetop or building) during daylight hours.
2. Center the object in the main telescope's H20 eyepiece.
3. Look through the finder scope. Use the adjustment screws on the finder scope bracket to move its crosshairs until they are centered on the same object.
4. Once aligned, objects centered in the finder scope will also be visible in the main telescope's eyepiece.

2. Observing Terrestrial Objects

This telescope can be used for both astronomical and terrestrial observations. For terrestrial viewing:

• Ensure the telescope is stable on its tripod.
• Point the telescope towards your desired object.
• Look through the eyepiece and slowly turn the focuser knob until the image is sharp and clear.
• Use the H20 eyepiece for a wider view, and switch to the H6 eyepiece for higher magnification if needed.

3. Observing Astronomical Objects

For astronomical observations, choose a dark location away from city lights. Allow your eyes to adapt to the darkness for about 20 minutes.

1. Start with the H20 eyepiece for the widest field of view, making it easier to locate celestial objects.
2. Use the finder scope to locate your desired celestial object.
3. Once the object is centered in the finder scope, look through the main telescope's eyepiece.
4. Adjust the focuser knob slowly until the image is sharp.
5. For higher magnification and more detail, switch to the H6 eyepiece. Refocus as needed.
6. Use the angle adjustment handle and handwheel to track objects as they move across the sky due to Earth's rotation.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe the lens surface. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of optical cleaning fluid on the cloth, not directly on the lens. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
• Storage: When not in use, always replace the objective lens protection cover. Store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
• Tripod Care: Keep the tripod legs clean and free of dirt or sand to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check all screws and knobs for tightness.
• General Care: Avoid dropping or subjecting the telescope to harsh impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble the optical components beyond what is described in this manual.
