TwinStar Telescopes 80mm Reflector Telescope Assembly Manual

Assembly Guide : 80mm Reflector Telescope

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have bought a wonderful telescope. This is a precision optical instru-

ment, and you have many wonderful evenings of observing the night sky ahead of you. This on-line

guide is to help you assemble your telescope properly.

We know that many people are visually oriented and that pictures of the assembly process would be

helpful. Since your telescope assembly guide and instruction manual does not have a lot of pictures,

we have put together this online guide to help you assemble your telescope for your first night of ob-

serving.

Once your telescope is assembled and ready to go, the rest is up to you. Learning astronomy is all

the fun anyhow! So let's get started . . .

Attach the Alt-Azimuth mount to the

Step 1

tripod and tighten with the set screw as

shown in Figure 1.

Now you can drop any 1.25" eyepiece Step 6 right into the angle prism (or the end of the main tube) and begin viewing objects.
