Thank you for choosing a quality product
from Teleskop-Service. With the purchase
of this telescope you are now entering the
fascinating world of hobby astronomy. With
our beginner’s set you can make your first
experiences in the sky and take a look into
the past of the universe.
In order to enjoy this optical instrument for a
long time, we ask you to read these instruc-
tions carefully. The setup is sometimes not
easy for beginners. Therefore we want to help
you with this description to unpack your new
telescope and to assemble it professionally.
Only then you will have a lot of fun observing
celestial objects. Further helpful steps for
finding celestial objects or also for the care
of your telescope can be found at the end of
this manual.
If you have any special questions, our staff
will be happy to assist you. Just write an
e-mail or call us and we will be glad to help
you.
First information
Never look at the sun with a telescope or
any other optical device. Permanent and
irreversible damage would be done to
your eyes, which could lead to blindness.
For solar observation, there are special
solar filters that are mounted in front of
the front lens of the telescope. Please also
consider the small finder scope, which
must also be covered or equipped with a
solar filter.
Do not use eyepiece solar filters, as they
may crack and cause you to lose your
eyesight.
Also, please do not use the telescope for
solar projection. The heat generated inside
may destroy the telescope/eyepiece.
Never leave the telescope unattended,
especially when children are around. They
could endanger themselves and others
through lack of knowledge.
Only use the telescope for the type of ob-
servation described in these instructions.

When mounting the tripod
legs, make sure that the
three retaining plates for the
storage plate face inwards.
Then attach the tripod legs
to the mount head using the
three screws ‚J‘. You should
not tighten these screws too
much yet.
First screw the three screws ‚F‘ into the
threads of the tripod legs, but do not tighten
the screws too much, only „hand-tight“. You
can later use these three screws to change
the „working height“ of the tripod or to adjust
the tripod to an uneven floor.
Assembling the mount
Now fasten the storage
plate to the retaining plates
of the ripod legs using the
three screws (K). To do this,
insert the screws with a
washer from above into the
holes provided for this pur-
pose in the storage plate ...

Now attach the storage pla-
te to the other two holding
plates.
Your AZ mount should now
be secure and stable and is
ready to receive the tele-
scope.
... and screw a wing nut
together with a washer onto
the screw from below. Do
not tighten the nut yet.
Then spread the three tripod
legs evenly and only then
tighten the three screws
(J) on the mounting head
„hand-tight“ (page 7).
