It can be your personal window on the universe or allows you to intimately study the behavior of nesting birds on a distant hillside. The telescope is shipped with the following parts: • Optical tube • Aluminum tripod with an accessory tray • Two 1.25" eyepieces: MA25mm (28X), MH9mm • 2x 1.25" Barlow lens • Diagonal mirror • 5x24mm viewfinder with bracket • Telescope mount • Hardware used in the assembly: 3 bolts (2" long) with wing nuts and washers 3 screws (1/2" long) with nuts The tube has a focal length of 700mm, and its objective lens has a diameter of 60mm. The lens diameter is one of the most important pieces of information about the telescope. The size of the objective lens determines how much detail you will be able to see in your telescope. The focal length will help later on to calculate magnification. Setting up your telescope involves these simple steps: • Assemble your tripod • Attach the accessory tray • Attach the optical tube to the mount • Attach the viewfinder • Attach the diagonal mirror and eyepiece • Align the viewfinder Study the the picture on the next page and become acquainted with the parts of your telescope.

Make sure that as you attach the legs (7) to the mount that the leg braces (9) are facing inward. 2. Line up the holes at the top of one of the legs with the holes in the mount (10). See Fig. 2. 3. Thread one of the 2-inch bolts through the holes. 4. Thread a wingnut over the bolt and hand- tighten to a firm feel. 5. Attach the remaining two legs to the mount in the same manner. 6. Spread the legs out evenly apart. 7. Set the height of your tripod: a. Rotate and loosen the leg lock thumbscrew (20) to unlock the leg lock. b. Slide the inner portion of the leg (19) in or out to the desired length. c. Rotate and tighten the leg lock thumbscrew to relock the leg lock. Fig. 2 2” Screw tripod leg mount washer wingnut d. Repeat for the other two legs. ATTACH THE ACCESSORY TRAY The tray helps stabilize the tripod and is also a convenient holder of eyepieces and other Meade accessories, such as the Barlow lens. 1. Line up the holes at the end of one of the leg brace supports (8) with the holes in one of the leg braces (9). 2. Thread one of the one-half inch bolts through the holes. 3. Thread a hex nut over the end of the bolt. 4. Finger tighten the bolt and hex nut. See Fig. 3. 5. Repeat with the two other leg braces. 6. Thread the accessory tray (26) over the center mounting bolt to a firm feel. 3 ATTACH THE OPTICAL TUBE TO THE MOUNT The optical tube gathers distant light which is focused in the eyepiece. 1. Remove the two lock knobs (5) from the optical tube. 2. Slide the altitude rod (17) into the hole in the altitude adjustment control . Tighten to a firm feel. See Fig. 4. 3. Place the optical tube (4) between the forks of the mount, oriented as shown in Fig. 4.

Thread a lock knob (5) through each of the holes in the forks of the mount and tighten to a firm feel. ATTACH THE VIEWFINDER An eyepiece (1) has a narrow field of view. A viewfinder (2) has a wider field of view, which makes it easier to locate objects. The 5x24mm viewfinder has crosshairs to make it easier to line up more precisely with a target. 1.
