The telescope is shipped in one box which contains the optical tube, altazimuth mount and all the standard accessories, which include: / •20mm0cular 1-1/4" • 10mm Ocular 1-1/4" (80mmmodel) • Star Pointer Finderscope (80mm model) • 6x30 Finderscope (102mm model) •45° Erect Image Diagonal 1-1/4" • Slow Motion Controls • Adjustable Aluminum Tripod • Accessory Tray Use the accompanying diagram (on page 3) to identify the various parts of your telescope for assembly and ongoing use. Unpacking Your Firstscope AZ When setting up the telescope, find a large, clear area where the parts can be laid out. Remove the contents of the box and place them neatly on your work surface. Once your refractor has been unpacked and assembled, you will not need the boxes for everyday storage and transportation. However, you should save the box in case you need to ship your telescope via a common carrier. To begin setting up your Firstscope AZ, start with the tripod and work up from there. Attaching the Mount Locate the Altazimuth mount and the tripod legs along with the tripod mounting hardware and the tripod accessory tray. 1. Slide the two top portions of each tripod leg around the sides of each flange on the tripod head of the mount, so the flange is secured between them. 2. Slide the screw through the tripod leg and flange, until the screw extends out the other side. 3. Slide the washer and the nut over the screw and tighten. This can be left slightly loose, to allow for positioning the legs later, when attaching the accessory tray. Setting Up the Tripod 4. Repeat this process for the remaining two legs. Now the tripod will stand by itself. 1 Set the tripod with the Altazimuth mount attached in the standing position by speading the legs apart far enough for the tripod accessory tray to fit. 2 You are now ready to install the tripod accessory tray. The tripod tray fits over the holes in the tripod leg brace. Insert the winged bolts through the holes in the bottom of the tripod leg brace and thread them into the holes in the accessory tray. 3 Tighten all bolts to ensure proper stability. 2 FIRSTSCOPE A Z Figure 2-1 The Firstscope AZ fully assembled. Use this illustration and others throughout this manual, to familiarize yourself with the various parts of your Firstscope AZ telescope. wmmmmmam—mmimmmmmmm—mmm With the tripod set up, you can adjust the height of the tripod. To do this: Adjusting the Tripod Height * Loosen the tightening screw on the lower portion of the tripod leg. 2. Slide the center slat of the leg away from the tripod head until at the desired height. 3. Tighten the screw (completely) to hold the leg firmly in place. Repeat this process for each tripod leg. 3 You are ready to attach the slow motion control knobs. Set Screw I on rT Slow Motion Shaft Slow Motion Cable \ Metal Sleeve 1. Retract the set screw on the metal sleeve of the slow motion control knobs until it no longer extends into the inner diameter. The metal sleeve is on the opposite end of the cable from the slow motion knob. 2. Slide the end of the metal sleeve over one of the two shafts protruding from the mount. Make sure that the set screw on the metal sleeve is over the flat part of the shaft (see figure 2-2). The shaft on the right side of the telescope platform controls altitude adjustments while the one on the left controls azimuth adjustments (see figure 2-3). 3. Tighten the set screws to hold the slow motion control cables in place. Figure 2-2 This illustration shows the correct orientation of the metal sleeve relative to the slow motion shaft. Altitude Adjustment Shaft Figure 2-3 Attaching the Telescope The optical tube is held to the mount with two mounting rings. On the bottom of to the Mount the mounting rings are square extrusions — one on each ring. This portion of the ring sits on top of the mounting platform to hold the telescope in place. 1. Slightly loosen the screws that hold the mounting rings on the telescope in place. 2. Slide the rings apart so that each is at the same distance as the holes in the mounting platform. 3. Place the telescope tube on the mount and orient it so that the objective lens is opposite the slow motion control handles. 4. Align the holes on the square extrusions with the holes at the ends of the mounting platform. 4 Pointing the AZ Telescope 5. Starting with the ring closest to the objective lens, insert the bolt through the hole in the mounting platform and thread it into the mounting ring (C). Repeat this process for the remaining mounting ring. 6. Tighten the screws that hold the mounting rings in place (A and B). This will keep the telescope from sliding back and forth in the mounting rings. The Altazimuth mount can be moved in two directions; vertically, which is called Orient the altazimuth mount so that it is parallel to the ground while mounting the telescope tube. altitude and horizontally, which is called azimuth.
