Altitude lock knob:
This locks the telescope in the altitude (up/down) direc-
tion. Keep this knob tightened unless you are moving
the telescope a significant distance in the altitude direc-
tion. For smaller altitude adjustments, use the altitude
micro-motion control rod and thumbwheel.

Azimuth lock knob:
This locks the telescope in the azimuth (left/right) direction.
Keep this knob tightened unless you are adjusting the
telescope in the azimuth direction.

Tripod leg attachment screws:
These screws attach the tripod legs to the “yoke” altazimuth
mount. Each screw has a wingnut and two washers.
22
Accessory tray bracket:
This bracket holds the accessory tray.
23
Leg lock knobs:
These knobs lock the tripod legs into place. Loosen them
to lengthen or shorten the tripod legs. Tighten them
once you have the legs at the desired length. Be cer-
tain that all three tripod legs are equally extended to
assure your telescope is level.
These items are included with your telescope, but are not
shown in Figures 1, 2 or 3.
10mm Kellner eyepiece: This is a second, high-pow-
ered eyepiece, providing 70x magnification. For more details
see the Using Your Telescope section.
Dust cover: Use this to cover the objective lens when the
telescope is not in use. It will prevent dust from collecting on
the objective lens.
