|
| Step 5. Plug in hand controller and AC adaptor. | ||
|
|
|
| Plug hand controller into either one of the two HBX ports on | ||
|
|
|
| the mount. Next plug in AC adaptor. (Or use | ||
|
|
|
| step 3). Turn on power (the red light should go on). | ||
|
|
|
| At this point you can begin observing manually. Use the 4 | ||
|
|
|
| Arrow keys (▲▼◄►) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left, | ||
|
|
|
| and Right. Use the SPEED key to change the slew rate | ||
|
|
|
| from the slowest (2X) to the fastest (MAX). | ||
| Plug in AC | The other HBX is reserved for accessories, such as | ||||
| adaptor | external GPS module, electronic focuser or laser pointer. | ||||
|
|
| here | DO NOT plug | ||
|
|
|
| avoid damaging the mount or accessories. | ||

|
| For 80mm Refractor (#8502)…… |
| ||
|
|
|
| Insert 45º diagonal: Insert the diagonal | into the eyepiece | |
|
|
|
| side of the telescope. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm | ||
|
|
|
| feel only. | ||
|
|
|
| Insert the eyepiece: Slide the eyepiece into the open end | ||
45º | diagonal | of the diagonal. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel | ||||
|
|
|
| only. Remove the dust cover from the other end of optical | ||
|
|
| eyepiece | tube assembly. | ||
|
|
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
| Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may | ||
|
|
|
| need to turn the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your | ||
|
|
|
| telescope for the first time. Always start observing using a | ||
Focus knob | low power eyepiece (such as a 25mm eyepiece) to get a | |||||
|
|
|
| nice wide field of view. Later you can change to high power | ||
|
|
|
| if so desired. Higher powered eyepieces have a much | ||
|
|
|
| narrower field of view. So it’s more difficult to initially locate | ||
|
|
|
| objects using higher powered eyepieces. | ||
|
| For 114mm Newtonian (#8503) …… |
| |||
Point toward open | Attach the red dot finder scope to the | telescope tube (#1): | ||||
First remove the two washers on the tube. Then place the | ||||||
end of telescope | ||||||
|
|
|
| finder scope onto the two bolts and | ||
|
|
| Bolts | securely. The finder scope should face towards the open | ||
|
|
| end of the tube (see arrow in diagram). | |||
|
|
|
| Turn on the beam using the switch on the side. (note: you | ||
|
|
|
| may need to remove the plastic insulation placed next to | ||
|
|
| Switch | the battery underneath) | ||
