Congratulations on purchasing the Tele Vue-60is (imaging system) APO telescope. This instrument is diffraction limited, and will perform visually up to the same standard as its sibling 1¼" focuser model, while having the enormous field capability of accepting 2" eyepieces, with an optional 2" diagonal. Its primary goal, of course, is imaging.
Screws on top of the focus body. A brass clamp ring sits in a recessed groove within the interior wall of the focuser body and the Focus Tension Screws tighten against it. The brass clamp ring in turn, cinches around the Teflon sleeve within which the Draw Tube rides. The end of the Draw Tube is threaded to accept the Field Flattener. It also contains two 8-32 screws which tighten against a brass clamp ring to hold either the Field Flattener or 2” star diagonal.
9) Case: The Tele Vue-60is case is fitted for the telescope with a DSLR camera attached. When packing the scope in the case be sure to place the rigid ethafoam filler over the scope’s objective. The top two screws in the mount ring will protrude through the aperture in the ethafoam. CARE: The Tele Vue-60is requires no special care. Treat it as you would any fine camera lens. Use the lens cap when the telescope is not in use.
