4. Configuración
Sigue estes pasos para montar o teu telescopio:
- Montar o trípode: Extend the tripod legs to a stable height. Ensure the tripod is placed on a level surface.
- Fixar o soporte: The altazimuth mount is pre-attached to the tripod. Ensure all knobs are tightened for stability.
- Conecte o tubo óptico: Secure the telescope optical tube to the mount using the provided screws or clamps. Make sure it is firmly attached.
- Instala o buscador: Slide the finderscope into its bracket on the optical tube and tighten the retaining screws. Remove the dust caps from both ends of the finderscope.
- Inserir o espello diagonal: Afrouxa o parafuso do enfocador e insira o espello diagonal. Aperte o parafuso para fixalo.
- Inserir un ocular: Loosen the thumbscrew on the diagonal mirror and insert either the K10mm or K20mm eyepiece. Tighten the thumbscrew. The K20mm eyepiece provides lower magnification and a wider field of view, useful for locating objects.
- Retirar a tapa antipo: Remove the large dust cap from the front of the telescope's optical tube.
5. Funcionamento do telescopio
Once assembled, you can begin observing.
5.1 Aliñamento do buscador
The finderscope helps you locate objects quickly. It must be aligned with the main telescope tube:
- Apunte o telescopio principal a un obxecto distante e estacionario (por exemplo, unha árbore ou un edificio) durante as horas de luz.
- Centra o obxecto no ocular principal do telescopio.
- Mire a través do buscador e axuste os seus parafusos de aliñamento ata que o mesmo obxecto estea centrado na retícula do buscador.
5.2 Focalización
To achieve a clear image, rotate the focuser knob until the object appears sharp. You may need to make fine adjustments as objects move or as your eyes adjust.
5.3 Observing
Use the altitude and azimuth lock knobs to move the telescope up/down and left/right. For fine adjustments, use the slow-motion control knob.
- Astronomical Observations: Start with the K20mm eyepiece to locate celestial objects. Once centered, you can switch to the K10mm eyepiece for higher magnification.
- Terrestrial Observations: The diagonal mirror provides a corrected image for land viewing.
5.4 Using the Barlow Lens
The 3x Barlow lens increases the magnification of any eyepiece by three times. Insert the Barlow lens into the focuser first, then insert an eyepiece into the Barlow lens. This is useful for observing finer details on planets or the moon.

6. Mantemento
Proper care will ensure your telescope provides years of enjoyment.
- Óptica de limpeza: Use a soft, clean brush to remove dust from lenses. For smudges, use a specialized optical cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Apply solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid touching optical surfaces with your fingers.
- Limpeza xeral: Limpe o tubo e a montura do telescopio cun pano suave eamp pano. Evite produtos de limpeza abrasivos.
- Almacenamento: Always replace dust caps on the objective lens and eyepiece when not in use. Store the telescope in its backpack in a dry, dust-free environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
7 Solución de problemas
Aquí tes solucións para problemas comúns cos que podes atoparte:
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| A imaxe está borrosa ou desenfocada | Improper focus setting | Axuste o botón do enfocador ata que a imaxe sexa nítida. |
| Cannot find objects easily | Finderscope is not aligned | Align the finderscope with the main telescope (refer to Section 5.1). Use the K20mm eyepiece for wider field of view. |
| A imaxe é tenue ou escura | High magnification eyepiece used in low light; dust cap still on | Use a lower magnification eyepiece (e.g., K20mm). Ensure the objective lens dust cap is removed. |
| Image is upside down or reversed | Normal for astronomical telescopes without an erecting prism; diagonal mirror provides corrected image for terrestrial viewing | Isto é normal para astronómicos viewing. Para terrestre viewing, ensure the diagonal mirror is correctly installed. |
