If you find that the ring pattern is skewed in a different direction, than simply repeat steps 2 through 6 as described above for the new direction. Perfect collimation will yield a star image very symmetrical just inside and outside of focus. In addition, perfect collimation delivers the optimal optical performance specifications that your telescope is built to achieve. Figure 8-3 A collimated telescope should appear symmetrical with the central obstruction centered in the star's diffraction pa

Attach the 5-pin connector over the 5 pins at the top of the electronics module (labled R.A. Motor), and then plug the phone jack connector into the R.A. motor. Once plugged into the proper power source, activate the drive by placing the ON/OFF switch in the “ON” position. Once activated, the drive begins tracking at sidereal rate, the default tracking rate. The LED next to the sidereal rate icon will illuminate. Figure 5-1 The CI-700 electronic console. Using the Drive • 37 Guide Speed Figure 5

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.

This will help to familiarize you with your telescope, thus making it easier to use at night. Daytime Observing 1. Find a distant object that is fairly bright. 2. Insert the standard 20mm eyepiece into the diagonal. 3. Locate the object in the finderscope. 4. Use the slow motion knobs to center the object in the field of the finder. 5. Look through the main optics and the object will be there (if you aligned the Star Pointer first). Try using different optional eyepieces to see how the fi

Equatorial mount – a type of mounting that allows the telescope to be aligned with the earth's axis in order to track the motion of the sky. Focal length - the distance from the optical center of the lens to the point where the incoming light rays converge, creating a clear, focused image. Primary Mirror - It gathers incoming light to create a sharply focused image. Reflecting telescope – an optical design in which light is reflected off of a curved mirror that converges the light into a small d

To do this, you use your RA and DEC setting circles to find celestial coordinates for stellar objects. These coordinates are given in star charts and reference books. Polar Alignment To make tracking the stars easier, rough polar alignment is required. 1. The right ascension (polar) axis should be pointed towards the North Pole (see the illustration below). 2. The equatorial mount should be level. 3. Your latitude should be set (see section on “Setting Latitude” on page 7). 10 See the ill
