INTRODUCTION
Your telescope is an excellent beginner's
instrument, and is designed to observe
objects in the sky and also on land. 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
• Alt-azimuth mount with slow motion
controls
• Aluminum tripod with integrated accessory
tray
• Three 1.25" eyepieces:
• MA26mm, MA9mm, MA6.3mm
• 90 degree erect-image diagonal prism
• 2X Barlow
• Red-dot viewfinder with bracket
• Smart Phone Adapter
The StarPro™ AZ series of telescopes come
in several sizes (apertures) of optical tubes.
The heart of the optical tubes is the front
lens. It collects and focuses the incoming
light from distant objects.
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.
Each optical tube also has a focal length
which is the distance the light travels inside
the optical tube before it comes to focus.
The focal length information
important and will help later on to calculate
magnification.
Setting up your telescope involves these
simple steps:
• Setting up your tripod
• Locking the accessory tray
• Attach the slow motion controls
• Attach the optical tube to the mount
• Attach the viewfinder
• Attach the diagonal prism and eyepiece
• Align the viewfinder
