6.Remove the center leg brace from the tripod.

7.Collapse the tripod legs inward, towards each other.

The telescope is now broken down into enough pieces to be easily transported.

Note: Before transporting the optical tube it is recommended that the two mirror locking screw located on the rear cell of the tube be locked down. Before tightening the screws, the primary mirror must be moved towards the rear cell of the tube. Rotate the focuser knob clockwise until you feel a slight resistance. The screws should now thread into the primary mirror mounting plate.

When not in use, your CGE telescope can be left fully assembled and set up. However, all lens and eyepiece covers should be put back in place. This will reduce the amount of dust build-up on all optical surfaces and reduce the number of times you need to clean the instrument. You may want to return everything to its original shipping container and store it there. If this is the case, all optical surfaces should still be covered to prevent dust accumulation.
