Informazioni sulla sicurezza

Your safety is paramount. Please observe the following warnings:

WARNING! NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN!

NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH A TELESCOPE, SPOTTING SCOPE, BINOCULARS, AN EYEPIECE OR AN ACCESSORY. NEVER USE AN OPTICAL INSTRUMENT OR ACCESSORY TO OBSERVE THE SUN. THIS COULD CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE, INCLUDING BLINDNESS.

NEVER USE SOLAR FILTERS THAT SCREW ONTO THE EYEPIECE OR ACCESSORY; THE HEAT GENERATED COULD BREAK THE OPTICAL ELEMENTS AND CAUSE SEVERE EYE INJURY.

Image: Warning label indicating severe eye damage from solar observation, choking hazard from small parts, and injury risk from falling heavy components.

AVVERTIMENTO! The product contains small parts which, if swallowed, could compromise safety with potential choking hazard. Keep out of reach of small children.

AVVERTIMENTO! Handle the product with care and avoid impacts. Heavy falling components could cause injuries. Always secure the telescope properly on a stable mount.

Impostare

1. Disimballaggio: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the original packaging for future transport or storage.

3. Attaching the Diagonal: Insert the 1.25 inch / 31.7 mm diagonal mirror into the telescope's visual back and secure it with the thumbscrew.
4. Inserimento degli oculari: Insert either the 10 mm or 25 mm eyepiece into the diagonal. Start with the 25 mm eyepiece for a wider field of view and easier object acquisition.
5. Attaching and Aligning the Luminous Dot Finder Scope: Mount the luminous dot finder scope onto its designated bracket on the telescope tube. Align the finder scope with the main telescope by pointing the telescope at a distant terrestrial object (e.g., a tree top or distant building) and adjusting the finder scope's alignment screws until the object is centered in both the finder's red dot and the main telescope's eyepiece.

Funzionamento del telescopio

• Messa a fuoco: To achieve a sharp image, rotate the focus knob located at the rear of the telescope. Turn it slowly until the image appears clear and crisp. Fine-tuning may be required as objects move or as your eye adjusts.
• Changing Magnification: To change magnification, simply swap eyepieces. The 10 mm eyepiece provides higher magnification (150x with f/1500) and the 25 mm eyepiece provides lower magnification (60x with f/1500). Higher magnification is useful for detailed views of planets and smaller deep-sky objects, while lower magnification is better for wider fields of view and brighter objects.
• Osservazione degli oggetti celesti:
  • Localizzazione degli oggetti: Use the luminous dot finder scope to point the telescope at your desired celestial object. Once the object is centered in the finder, it should be visible in the main telescope's eyepiece.
  • Tracciamento: As the Earth rotates, celestial objects will appear to drift out of the field of view. You will need to periodically adjust your mount to keep the object centered.
  • Condizioni atmosferiche: Observing quality is significantly affected by atmospheric conditions. Clear, steady nights with minimal light pollution provide the best views.

Manutenzione

• Pulizia dell'ottica: Dust on the objective lens or eyepiece can degrade image quality. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove loose dust. For stubborn smudges, use a specialized optical cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth, applying gentle, circular motions. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
• Magazzinaggio: When not in use, store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. Use the original caps to cover the objective lens and eyepiece openings to prevent dust accumulation.
• Gestione: Always handle the telescope and its components with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting the instrument to sudden impacts.
