DETAILED ASSEMBLY DETAILED ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) No tools are required for assembly of your telescope. Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front of you before assembly. Since your telescope is a precision optical system the parts require careful handling—particularly the onboard computer, telescope, eyepieces, and various accessory lenses. SET UP TRIPOD AND ACCESSORY TRAY 1.
M ENJOYING YOUR NEW TELESCOPE 1. First determine your targeted object. Any bright object in the night sky is a good starting point. One of the favorite starting points in astronomy is the moon. This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. 2.
