Accessory tray – 4– INTRODUCTION Before you begin, we urge you to take a few minutes to completely read this manual so that you can get the best use of the equipment.This manual details the set-up, operation, specifications and optional accessories of the Telestar 60-AZ-A altazimuth refracting telescope. Designed for both astronomical and terrestrial observing, the Telestar 60-AZ-A will be your companion in exploring a universe of celestial and earthly objects. STANDARD EQUIPMENT (Refer to Fig. 1) • Complete optical tube assembly (objective lens diameter = 60mm; focal length = 700mm) • Full-length, fully adjustable, aluminum tripod and accessory tray. • MA25mm (28X), MH9mm eyepieces (1.25" O.D. “Outside Diameter”) • 2x Barlow Lens (1.25" O.D.) • Diagonal mirror (1.25" O.D.) • 5 x 24mm viewfinder with bracket • Altazimuth mount with micro-altitude control • Hardware package: A. 3 bolts (2" long) with wing nuts and washers B. 3 screws (1/2" long) with nuts Note: All other necessary hardware provided in place. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver to assemble the tripod. 1. Remove and identify the telescope’s components, using the listing above. 2. Attach the 3 aluminum tripod legs (7, Fig. 1) to the base of the altazimuth mount (10, Fig. 1) with the 3 leg brace supports (8, Fig. 1) facing inward. Line up the holes of the tripod legs (11, Fig. 1) with the holes on the mount base attachment and thread the three included bolts through the holes. Thread the wing nuts over the bolts and hand-tighten to a firm feel. Stand the telescope upright and spread the tripod legs evenly apart so that the accessory tray can be positioned for attachment to the leg braces. 3. To attach the leg braces to the tripod, line up the holes in the leg braces (9, Fig. 1) with the holes in the leg brace supports (8, Fig. 1) and slide the the included 1/2” screws through the holes. Thread the included nuts over the end of the bolts and hand-tighten to a firm feel. 4. To attach the accessory tray (26, Fig. 1) to the leg braces (9, Fig. 1), place the round accessory tray over the over mounting bolt hole (12, Fig. 1). Thread the attachment knob into the mounting hole on top of the tray and turning the knob clockwise. Tighten to a firm feel, but do not overtighten—you need to remove the tray if you wish to collapse the tripod. To remove the tray, just rotate the knob counterclockwise and remove the knob. You can then lift and remove the tray. 5. Extend the sliding center portion of the adjustable height tripod leg (19, Fig. 1) to the desired length for all 3 legs. Lock the tripod legs by tightening the leg lock thumbscrew (20, Fig. 1) to a firm feel. See Inset B. 6. Remove the two vertical lock knobs (D, Fig. 2) from the optical tube assembly. 7. Place the optical tube between the forks of the azimuth mount (A, Fig. 2), oriented as shown in Fig. 2. 8. Slide the altitude rod (B, Fig. 2) into the hole in the altitude coarse adjustment control assembly (C, Fig. 2). Tighten to a firm feel. 9. Thread a vertical lock knob (D, Fig. 2) through each of the holes in the forks of the azimuth mount (A, Fig. 2) and tighten to a firm feel. 10. Attach the viewfinder bracket (2, Fig. 1) to the telescope using the 2 thumbscrews provided (25, Fig. 1). The thumbscrews fit through the 2 holes located at the base of the viewfinder bracket and thread into the main tube (see Fig. 1, Inset C).

Insert the diagonal mirror (13, Fig. 1) into the focuser drawtube (15, Fig. 1) and the MA 25mm eyepiece (1, Fig. 1) into the diagonal mirror. Tighten the respective thumbscrews to a firm feel. 12. The telescope is now completely assembled. To move the telescope and point it from one object to another, first slightly loosen one of the chrome-lock (star-shaped) knobs (5, Fig. 1) which serve as a vertical lock, then loosen the azimuth (horizontal) lock (6, Fig. 1). Also, slightly loosen the altitude coarse adjustment lock knob (17, Fig. 1). Loosening these locks allows the telescope to be moved freely (vertically or horizontally) in any direction so that the telescope can be positioned to center a terrestrial or celestial object in the telescopic field. Once an object is found, the altitude lock knob (17, Fig. 1) can be tightened and the altitude slow-motion fine-adjustment control knob (16, Fig. 1) can then be used to make very smooth and accurate tracking in the vertical axis.
