Unpacking Your G-8N

This section covers the proper assembly instructions for your G-8N and C150-HD reflecting telescope. These telescopes are Newtonian reflector that utilize mirrors with specific focal lengths. The telescope comes on the German equatorial mount, which when properly aligned and fitted with the optional motors, will track objects as they move across the sky. Each telescope contains the following standard accessories. Included are:

•20mm Eyepiece 1-1/4"

•6x30mm Finder (Model #31056)

•9x50mm Finder (Model #31058)

•Quick Release Finder Bracket

•Lens Cap

•CG-4 German Equatorial Mount (Model #31056)

•CG-5 German Equatorial Mount (Model #31058)

•Counterweight Bar

•Counterweight (5 kg for Model #31058 - 3.6kg and 1.8kg for Model #31056)

•Declination (DEC) Slow Motion Knob

•Right Ascension (R.A.) Slow Motion Knob

•Adjustable Aluminium Tripod

•Accessory Tray

When setting up the telescope, find a large, clear area where the parts can be laid out without fear of losing them. Start with the tripod and mount. Remove the contents of the box and place them neatly on your work surface. Leave the optical tube in its box until you are ready to attach it to the mount. Once your telescope has been unpacked and assembled, you will not need the shipping boxes for everyday storage and transportation. However, you should save them in case you decide to ship your telescope via a common carrier.
