tripod rests on one leg. Finally, set the tripod
down on all legs, so that it stands straight.
Loosen the three locking clips (11) (Figure 1 + 4)
on the tripod legs, pull each individual tripod leg
out until it has reached the desired length (see
figure 4), close up the locking clips and set the
tripod down on a sturdy, even surface.
TIP:
A small water level on the accessory tray can
help you position your tripod horizontally.
4. Mounting the tray:
The accessory tray (10) (Figure 1 + 3) must be
positioned with its flat side down in the middle
of the tripod leg brace (16) (Figure 1), and then
must be mounted by turning it 60° in a clockwi-
se direction (Figure 5).

The three projections on the tray plate must
match up to the mounting brackets on the divisi-
on bars (12) (Figures 1 + 3) and must snap into
18
place. If necessary, you may push the tripod leg
brace downwards a little.
5. Tube
In order to mount the telescope tube (1) (Fig.
1), loosen the locking screw on the tube clamp
(8) (Fig. 6) and open up the clamp.

Set the tube in the middle of the holder and
snap the clamp shut again. Please screw the
locking screw on the holder tightly, using your
hand only.
Now set the tube (and holder) onto the mount
with the objective opening in the direction
marked (N-marking on the tripod head, north
point and telescope figure on the mount). Then
fasten the tube holder with the clamping screw
of the dovetail adapter on the mount head (Fi-
gure 7).

6. Inserting the Eyepiece
Three eyepieces (18) (Figure 2) and one zenith
mirror (19) (Figure 2) come with your tele-
I
scope. With the eyepieces, you can control the
magnification of your telescope.
Before installing the eyepieces and the zenith
mirror, take the lens cap (21a) out of the eyepi-
ece holder (6) (Figure 1). Loosen the clamping
screws (21) on the eyepiece holder and insert
the zenith mirror. Then screw the clamp screws
(21) back on.
