Telescope mounting bracket

Figure 2. To remove the cardboard insert from atop the altazimuth base, rotate the telescope mounting bracket so its long axis is vertically oriented, then lift the insert off.

1. Unpacking

Carefully unpack the StarBlast 6/6i from its shipping box. We recommend keeping the original shipping box and any smaller accessory boxes contained within it. In the event that the tele- scope needs to be shipped to another location, or returned to Orion for warranty repair, having the proper shipping contain- ers will help ensure that your telescope will survive the journey intact.

To remove the foam insert from the top of the altazimuth base, rotate the telescope mounting bracket so that its long axis is oriented vertically, then lift the foam insert out of the box (Figure 2).

Make sure all the parts in the Parts List below are present. Be sure to check the boxes carefully, as some parts are small. If anything appears to be missing or broken, immediately call Orion Customer Support (800-676-1343) for assistance.

The following parts are packed in small plastic bags inside the main telescope box. They are needed only for the StarBlast 6i IntelliScope model (#27126), not for the StarBlast 6 (#9926) without IntelliScope. If you purchased the latter, please do not discard these parts!
