5. Setup

Segwi dawn il-passi biex tiġbor it-teleskopju tiegħek:

1. Immuntar tat-Tubu Ottiku: Attach the telescope's pipe clamp with its universal dovetail prism rail to a compatible astronomical mount (e.g., EXOS/GP/EQ5/LXD75). Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. It-twaħħil tal-Finderscope: Slide the 6x30 finderscope into its bracket on the main telescope tube and tighten the retaining screws.
3. Inserting the Diagonal: Insert the Zenith Mirror (diagonal) into the focuser drawtube. Secure it with the thumbscrew on the focuser.
4. Inserting the Eyepiece: Insert the 26mm Super Plössl eyepiece into the diagonal. Secure it with the thumbscrew on the diagonal.

6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Once assembled, you can begin observing:

1. Allinjament tal-Finderscope: Before observing, align the finderscope with the main telescope. Point the main telescope at a distant, stationary object (e.g., a distant tree or street light) during daylight hours. Center the object in the main telescope's eyepiece. Then, adjust the finderscope's alignment screws until the same object is centered in the finderscope's crosshairs.
2. Issib Oġġetti: Use the aligned finderscope to locate your desired celestial object. Once the object is centered in the finderscope, it should be visible in the main telescope's eyepiece.
3. Iffukar: Use the focuser knobs to achieve a sharp image. Turn the knobs slowly until the object appears clear and crisp.
4. Tibdil fl-Ingrandiment: To change magnification, remove the current eyepiece and insert another with a different focal length. A shorter focal length eyepiece provides higher magnification.
5. Observing Celestial Objects: Igawdu views of the Moon's craters, Jupiter's moons and cloud bands, Saturn's rings, and various star clusters and nebulae. The 500mm focal length is particularly good for wide-field observations.

7. Manutenzjoni

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your telescope:

• Ottika tat-Tindif: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. For stubborn dust, use a photographic lens brush or compressed air. For smudges, use a specialized optical cleaning solution applied to a cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Ħażna: Aħżen it-teleskopju f'ambjent niexef u ħieles mit-trab. Żomm l-għotjien tat-trab fuq il-lenti oġġettiva u l-fokuser meta ma tkunx qed tużahom.
• Immaniġġjar: Always handle the telescope and its components with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt to optical surfaces.
• Dew Protection: The integrated dew protection cover helps reduce moisture formation on the objective lens.
