- Page 2 Interesting information for starting By buying a telescope you made the decision to pursue a very interesting and exciting hobby and we congratulate you. We would like to give you a couple of tips upfront. Astronomy isn’t a cinema movie Astronomy isn’t a cinema movie that you watch for a couple of hours without doing anything.
- Page 3 The magnification can be change as desired through oculars with different focal lengths. Here an example: Telescope Seben 1000/114 > opening 114mm, focal length 1000 > magnification with a 10mm ocular 1000/10 = 100x Light-gathering power The light-gathering power is dependent on the diameter of the objective or the lens of the telescope.
- Page 4 The color filters are made to increase the contrast when observing planets, so that you can see the details of the surfaces that are hardly recognizable. Seben also offers an astronomy filter package as accessory, which offers you the most important color filters in one package.
- Page 5 DKA5 this easily. Seben 31,7mm 1,25“ Zoom 8-24mm FMC Telescope Ocular Since 2004, the Seben Zoom 8-24mm FMC Ocular is the most sold Seben ocular of all times and is being used a thousand times by astronomers around the world with the greatest satisfaction.
- Page 6 Setting up the telescope Put the package on a save underground and open it carefully. Get ALL boxes out of the package, because they are also on one another. Empty boxes are merely there to ensure the transportation. Put all components on a save and flat underground, so that you can see them properly.
- Page 7 Remove a butterfly nut from one of the three screws and put the screw through the hole, so that the connection of the tripod and the mounting of the tripod mount is fixated. Now the first leg is mounted and it should look like on the picture here.
- Page 8 Slide the end of one of the legs of the holder for the ocular shell into a mounting on the tripod leg. Ensure that the opening of the holder points with the thread upwards. Remove the female screw from the screw and put the screw through the hole.
- Page 9 Setting up the telescope The mounting is set-up absolutely horizontal. A water level is very helpful in this case. Put the mounting on the tripod mount and screw it together from below Rotate the declination axis of the mounting You need the rail for the telescope tube rings. upwards, if needed, and attach the telescope tube ring.
- Page 10 Now attach the telescope tube rings correctly. Put the screws back in, through the holes in the telescope tube rings ant tighten them. Attach the fine movements shafts. To do that, remove the small protective rubber studs from the locating bolts, if necessary. Take the weight and slide it onto the weight rod.
- Page 11 Put the tube into the telescope tube rings and close the telescope tube ring at the side. Make sure that the declination shaft is pointing towards the ocular. Loosen and remove the screw heads on the front tube and put the viewfinder on the screws. Then screw the heads back on the screws so that the viewfinder is firmly on the tube.
- Page 12 (available in Seben’s accessories program). The adjustment of the mounting is important, because both axes have to stand level. This has the effect that the telescope, no matter how it’s positioned, won’t tip over sideways due to the unilateral overload. Think of a seesaw: if one side has more load on it, then it will sink downwards.
- Page 13 Loosen the right ascension clamp. It holds the axis. If you loosen this clamp, then the axis is freestanding and can be moved like a seesaw. The side of the telescope tube or the side of the counterweight will now probably sink downwards.
- Page 14 You have now successfully assembled the tripod. First observations Set up the telescope outside at least half an hour before the beginning of observation so that it can cool down. Please take the lid from your telescope and remove the cap from the eyepiece. Insert eyepiece on reflectors Before you focus on your first goal, put an eyepiece with a magnification as small as possible, thus with a large number (for...
- Page 15 Put an eyepiece with the smallest possible enlargement, ie with a large number (for example, 20mm), in the focuser. The sharpness can be set on the side with the wheels. Look through the telescope and place it on position on the top of the tower.
- Page 16 Now adjust the correct latitude. You can adjust the latitude with the altitude adjustment T-bolt on the lateral latitude scale. You can find out the exact latitude of your location on the Internet. The latitude in Germany is usually about 50 degrees.
- Page 17 What to look for in the sky: The moon The moon is the easiest target to find in the night. When it is in the full position, when the entire face is lit, then it bathes the night with a silvery light washing out the rest of the sky from all but the brightest objects. The best time to view the moon is actually not when it is full by rather anytime up to the first quarter, this is when the face appears to be half lit up.
- Page 18 Care and cleaning of Optics: WARNING: Improper cleaning of optical components may void the warranty! Optical components of a telescope will over time get dirty. The amount of dirt and or dust collected onto a lens or mirror should only be removed with the utmost care and this is at times best left to people with experience in this procedure.
