base, tighten the two screws with a screwdriver until the rack is secured in place. Insert an Eyepiece Remove the small cap covering the focuser drawtube and loosen the two eyepiece locking thumbscrews on the drawtube collar. Insert the chrome barrel of the 25mm Sirius Plössl eyepiece into the focuser and secure it with the thumbscrews. You can place the 10mm Sirius Plössl eyepiece in the eyepiece rack for use later. Congratulations! Your telescope is now fully assembled.

At the end of your observing session, be sure to turn the power knob counterclockwise until it clicks off.
Eyepiece Selection By using eyepieces of different focal lengths, it is possible to attain many magnifications, or powers, with the StarBlast 6/6i. Your telescope comes with two Sirius Plössl eyepieces of different focal lengths: a 25mm, which provides a magnification of 30x, and a 10mm, which yields 75x. Other eyepieces can be used to achieve higher or lower powers. It is quite common for an observer to own many eyepieces to access a wide range of magnifications.
Magnification Limits Every telescope has a useful magnification limit of about 2X per millimeter of aperture. This comes to 300X for the StarBlast 6. Some telescope manufacturers will use misleading claims of excess magnification, such as “See distant galaxies at 640X!”. While such magnifications are technically possible, the actual image at that magnification would be an indistinct blur. Moderate magnifications are what give the best views.
will help you locate the brightest and best deep-sky objects for viewing with your StarBlast 6/6i. Of course, if you purchased the StarBlast 6i IntelliScope, you will be able to easily locate dozens of deep-sky objects in a given evening with the IntelliScope Computerized Locator!

Vertical stop knob Rear end ring Jam nut Vertical stop L-bracket Figure 22. Once the vertical stop is adjusted and set initially, pointing the optical tube vertically is as easy as rotating the tube until the bottom end ring contacts the vertical stop knob, as shown. Make sure the middle of the end ring – not the rounded bottom edge – contacts the vertical stop knob. Figure 23. Place a carpenter’s level on the altazimuth base as shown.
Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the names of the alignment stars. The up arrow button scrolls through the stars alphabetically from A to Z. The down arrow button scrolls alphabetically backwards, from Z to A. When you arrive at the name of the star you wish to align on, you can begin to move the telescope so that it is pointing at that star (but don’t press the Enter button yet). Note: The controller will not accept Polaris as the first alignment star.
a. b. c. Figure 26. This sequence of pictures illustrate how the Computerized Object Locator’s guide arrows look as you are finding a celestial object. (a) When the optical tube is aimed far away from the object’s location, there will be a number (from 10 to 179) to the left of the guide arrows.
planet’s orange-colored hue. Like Venus, Mercury sometimes appears as a crescent, rather than as a full disk. VENUS At its brightest, Venus is the most luminous object in the sky, excluding the Sun and the Moon. It is so bright that sometimes it is visible to the naked eye during full daylight! Ironically, Venus appears as a thin crescent, not a full disk, when at its peak brightness. Because it is close to the Sun, it never wanders too far from the morning or evening horizon.
will then cycle information about the object you are viewing such as its celestial coordinates (R.A. and Dec.), magnitude (brightness), size (in arc-minutes or arc-seconds), and a brief scrolling text description. When you are finished viewing the selected NGC object, you may scroll to another NGC object by using the arrow buttons, or you can select another NGC object to view by pressing the NGC button again.
from the next constellation (in alphabetical order) will be displayed. To select another constellation in which to view a star cluster, press the Cluster button again. Locating Galaxies Nebulas may be beautiful and star clusters impressive, but nothing has quite the breathtaking power of observing a galaxy. Galaxies are collections of billions of stars that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Viewing a galaxy always gives the observer a revelation of just how vast our universe truly is.
pare the current brightness of the variable star to other stars around it (whose magnitudes are known and do not change over time). To select a variable star to observe, press Enter after selecting “VARIABLE” from the Star button choices. The LCD screen will then display the word “VARIABLE” with a flashing three-letter constellation designation after it. Now, select the constellation in which you would like to view a variable star. Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the list of constellations.
then use the up/and down arrow buttons to scroll through several more specific options (“STAR”, “DOUBLE”, “CLUSTER”, “NEBULA”, and “GALAXY”). If you know which one of these object types you are looking at, selecting the object type will make the identification quicker and more accurate. This is because the computer will search through a shorter list of potential object matches, and will allow proper identification if there are several objects within the same field of view.
displayed on the first line of the LCD screen. The lower left of the screen indicates the current constellation the telescope is pointing to. The lower right numbers are the current azimuth (“AZ”) and altitude (“ALT”) coordinates of the telescope; this information is generally not useful. The Realignment Function This function is useful for obtaining a new alignment fix during an observing session to correct for small pointing errors.
each of the digit pairs rises and falls. None of the digit pairs should ever go above “F3.” If they do, then the encoder disk is too close to the sensors on the encoder board. This will generally not happen in altitude, but can happen in azimuth. If you notice that the first or second digit pair on the second line of the display goes above “F3,” then try loosening the lock nut on the azimuth nut of the base by about 1/16 turn.

(a) When the mirrors are properly aligned, the view down the focuser drawtube should look like this. (b) With the collimation cap in place, if the optics are out of alignment, the view might look something like this.
Spider vane thumb nuts Figure 29. To center the secondary mirror under the focuser, hold the secondary mirror holder in place with your fingers while adjusting the center screw with a Phillips head screwdriver. Do not touch the mirror’s surface. Figure 30. To center the secondary mirror radially in the focuser drawtube, make adjustments to the two knurled spider vane thumbnuts that are perpendicular to the focuser.
Figure 31. The collimation and mirror locking thumbscrews in the secondary mirror holder about a quarter of a turn only (counterclockwise). That should be enough to free up the secondary mirror to rotate slightly in either direction. Look into the collimation cap and rotate the mirror slightly in each direction to get an idea of how it affects the view of the secondary mirror. Now rotate the mirror as needed so that it precisely faces the focuser.
If you try the star test and the bright star you have selected is not accurately centered in the eyepiece, the optics will always appear out of collimation, even though they may be perfectly aligned. It is critical to keep the star centered, so over time you will need to make slight corrections to the telescope’s position in order to account for the sky’s apparent motion. Point the telescope at Polaris (the north star) if you do not have a mount that tracks.
screws? If you didn’t and the disk is free to rotate on the mounting bracket shaft, the IntelliScope system will not work. 6. Did you install the aluminum spacer ring on the telescope mounting bracket shaft after you attached the encoder disk? The spacer ring is important for maintaining the correct spacing between the altitude encoder disk and the sensors on the encoder board. 7.
