Detailed Assembly
No tools are required for assembly of your telescope.
Remove all components from the carton and identify all parts It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front of you before assembly. Since your telescope is a precision optical system, the components require careful

2.Fold down the accessory tray braces and place the Quick Release Accessory Tray on top of the braces.
3.Insert accessory tray bolt through the center of the accessory tray braces and tighten accessory tray bolt into the accessory tray brace.

1.Locate Red Dot Finderscope
2.Place finderscope over the corresponding attachment lug on the top of the telescope tube near the focusing mechanism.
3.Slide forward until the finderscope is seated securely. The large end of the finderscope should face the open end of the telescope tube.
4.Attach low power eyepiece.
a.For Reflector Telescopes, insert eyepiece directly into the focusing tube mechanism.
b.For Refractor Telescopes, insert eyepiece into the diagonal mirror, then insert the diagonal mirror into the focusing tube mechanism.

Lens accessories
Barlow Lens (Select Models)
Some Voyager with Sky Tour units come with a Barlow lens. This accessory will allow you to now have dual use of any eyepiece. Simply put the Barlow lens between the focusing mechanism and the eyepiece for reflector style telescopes, or the focusing mechanism and the diagonal mirror on refractor style telescopes. Depending on the specification written on the Barlow lens, these accessories can double or even triple the magnification of the eyepiece when used with it. Remember, low power is always recommended, but higher powers are good especially on bigger and brighter objects such as the moon and planets.
