2.1 Сав баглаа боодол, эд ангиудыг тодорхойлох

Carefully unpack all components from the box. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are present before proceeding with assembly.

2.2 Гурван хөлтэй штатив угсралт

Extend the legs of the aluminum tripod to the desired height and secure them. Ensure the tripod is stable on a flat surface.

2.3 Attaching the U-Mount

Secure the U-Mount to the top of the tripod. The U-Mount provides slow-motion controls for precise tracking.

2.4 Attaching the Telescope Tube

Place the telescope tube onto the U-Mount and secure it using the provided fasteners. Ensure it is firmly attached but do not overtighten.

2.5 Installing the Finder Scope

Attach the 10x30mm erecting finder scope to its bracket on the main telescope tube. This will assist in locating objects before viewing through the main eyepiece.

2.6 Installing Eyepieces

Insert either the K20mm or K9mm eyepiece into the focuser. The K20mm eyepiece provides 35x magnification, ideal for centering objects, while the K9mm eyepiece offers 78x magnification for closer views.

3.1 Locating Objects

Begin by using the finder scope to locate your desired celestial object. Look through the finder scope and align the crosshairs with the object. Once centered in the finder scope, it should be visible in the main telescope eyepiece.

3.2 Анхаарал төвлөрүүлэх

Adjust the focusing knob on the main telescope tube until the image appears sharp and clear. Start with the K20mm eyepiece for a wider field of view, then switch to the K9mm for higher magnification if desired.

3.3 Tracking Celestial Objects

Due to Earth's rotation, celestial objects will appear to move across the field of view. Use the slow-motion controls on the U-Mount to make fine adjustments and keep the object centered in your eyepiece.

4. Засвар үйлчилгээ

4.1 Линз цэвэрлэх

To clean the telescope lenses, use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics. Gently wipe the surface to remove dust. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.

4.2 Хадгалалт

When not in use, store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. Keep all lens caps on to protect the optics from dust and damage. Avoid storing in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations.

4.3 Коллимация

Newtonian reflector telescopes may occasionally require collimation (alignment of the mirrors) to maintain optimal image quality. This is an advanced maintenance task. Refer to specialized astronomical resources or consult a professional if you suspect your telescope needs collimation.

5. Алдаа засах

5.1 Blurry or Distorted Images

• Ensure the focuser is properly adjusted.
• Check if the eyepiece is securely seated in the focuser.
• Verify that the telescope has acclimated to the ambient outdoor temperature to prevent heat currents from distorting the image.
• If images remain blurry, the mirrors may require collimation (see Section 4.3).

5.2 Difficulty Locating Objects

• Ensure the finder scope is properly aligned with the main telescope. This can be done during daylight by centering a distant object in the main eyepiece, then adjusting the finder scope until the same object is in its crosshairs.
• Start with the lowest magnification eyepiece (K20mm) for a wider field of view.
