ED TRIPLET ESSENTIAL SERIES
Welcome to our ED Triplet Essential Series
Designed to deliver crystal clear imagery rich in contrast, the premium telescopes in
our ED Triplet Essential Series are the ideal optical instruments to capture the universe’s
breathtaking sights. Available in three apertures ranging from a grab-and-go 80mm to
a versatile 127mm, these apochromatic refractors produce stunning views of countless
celestial treasures like the Moon’s chiseled craters, Saturn’s elegant rings or the
churning spiral of the face-on Pinwheel Galaxy. To provide you a true view of the cosmos,
the telescopes in this series feature an air-spaced triplet optical design that virtually
eliminates chromatic aberrations. In addition, they use a combination of genuine HOYA
extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and proprietary EMD enhanced multi-layer coatings
on all optical surfaces to generate brilliant high-contrast images with crisp definition.
The quality of the optics also allows those seeking to push magnification based on their
choices of eyepieces or focal extenders to do so without sacrificing clarity. To further
guarantee precision performance, these telescopes include a three-point collimation
cell that allows for pinpoint adjustments of the objective lens. Your ED Triplet Essential
Series telescope offers all of these benefits and more. This set-up manual and the
accompanying materials will guide you through a basic assembly process that will have
you at the eyepiece and under the stars in no time.
SUN WARNING
DO NOT use this telescope or any accompanying finder scope to look at or near the
Sun! Even momentary visual contact with the Sun’s light rays can instantly cause
irreversible damage to your eye(s). Eye damage can be painless, so there is no warning
to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Take extra care when using
the telescope or a finder scope during daylight hours, and do not point either at or near
the Sun. Do not look through either when you are moving the instruments during the
daytime. Never allow anyone to use the telescope or a finder scope during the daytime
without warning them of the hazards of aiming either at or near the Sun. Make sure that
they are adequately trained on the use of these instruments before allowing them to start
observing. Children should always have informed and trained adult supervision while
observing.
PROPER CARE WARNING
Your telescope is a precision optical device and keeping the optics free of dust and dirt
is crucial for optimal performance. However, the use of improper cleaning techniques,
tools and/or solutions can cause irreparable damage to your telescope. In terms of
solutions, use distilled water and/or an optical glass cleaner that can be found at most
camera stores. Only use pure cotton swabs/balls or white, unscented, lotion-free tissues
for wiping down optics after you have removed as many particles as possible with forced
air or a photographic-grade camel hair brush. DO NOT use optical lens cleaning tissues
as many contain fiberglass particles that can be abrasive.
UNPACKING and MOVING
Please Note: We recommend that you keep the original shipping box and packing
materials if possible, in case your scope should ever need to be returned for service or
warranty purposes. When the box is opened for the first time, you will find that all parts
