Part I – Construction
1. General/Location:
These instructions detail the assembly and use of refracting
and reflecting telescopes as well as Maksutovs with equato-
rial mountings (also called German mountings). Parts of these
instructions hence contain differing instructions for the different
telescope models.
Before you begin construction, you must choose a suitable
location for your telescope.
It will help you, if you build this appliance in a place, where you
have a clear view of the skies, a stable footing and sufficient
space around you.
Remove all the parts from the packaging first. Check, using the
diagram, whether all the parts are there.
IMPORTANT!
Only do the screws up finger tight and avoid over
tightening them.
