3.Assembly of #9926

StarBlast 6 (without IntelliScope system)

The StarBlast 6/6i is partially assembled at the factory, for your convenience. The altazimuth base is fully pre-assembled in the #9926 configuration; that is, it is ready for use without the IntelliScope system. If you purchased the #9926 StarBlast 6, please skip to section 5: “Final Assembly of Your Telescope (StarBlast 6/6i).”

4.Assembly of #27126 StarBlast 6i IntelliScope

If you purchased the #27126 StarBlast 6i IntelliScope, some assembly is required to install the components of the IntelliScope system on the altazimuth base. In fact, you will first have to disassemble a portion of the base to remove a couple of parts and install others that are necessary for the IntelliScope system of function properly.

Installation of the IntelliScope System on the Altazimuth Base

The assembly requires a small and a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver and two adjustable crescent wrenches. You can substitute a pair of pliers for one of the adjustable crescent wrenches. You will also need a small (4" or so) piece of duct tape, masking tape, or packing tape.

When tightening screws, tighten them until firm, but be careful not to strip the threads by over-tightening.

Begin by placing the pre-assembled altazimuth base on the floor or a table. For steps 1-11, refer to the schematic illustra- tion in Figure 3 for correct placement of components.

1.To prepare the base for the installation of the IntelliScope system components, you must first disassemble the top baseplate from the bottom baseplate. To do this, use one adjustable crescent wrench or a pair of pliers to hold the hex head of the azimuth axis bolt steady on the underside of the bottom baseplate while using another adjustable crescent wrench to turn the hex lock nut

on the other end of the bolt. Remove the lock nut and metal fender washer and set them aside. Now carefully separate the two baseplates. In addition to the azimuth axis bolt and a fender washer on the underside of the
