4. Instruccions de configuració

The Gskyer AZ70400 telescope is designed for quick and easy setup without the need for tools. Follow these steps to assemble your telescope:

  1. Set up the Tripod: Spread the tripod legs outwards until they are fully extended and stable. Secure the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod.
  2. Attach the Telescope Tube: Locate the mounting screw on the Altazimuth mount head. Align the telescope optical tube with the mount and secure it using the mounting screw. Ensure it is firmly attached.
  3. Install the Finderscope: Slide the 5x24 finderscope into its mounting bracket on the telescope tube. Tighten the small thumbscrew on the bracket to hold the finderscope in place.
  4. Insert the Diagonal: Insert the 48° Erecting BAK7 Prism (diagonal) into the focuser tube. Secure it by tightening the small thumbscrew on the focuser.
  5. Insert an Eyepiece: Choose either the 25mm or 10mm eyepiece. Insert the desired eyepiece into the diagonal. Secure it by tightening the small thumbscrew on the diagonal.
  6. (Optional) Use the Barlow Lens: To increase magnification, insert the 3X Barlow lens into the diagonal first, then insert an eyepiece into the Barlow lens.

5. Operating the Telescope

5.1 Aligning the Finderscope

The finderscope is a low-power, wide-field telescope that helps you locate objects before viewing them through the main telescope. It must be aligned with the main telescope for accurate targeting.

  1. Point the main telescope at a distant, stationary object (e.g., a tree or building) during daylight hours.
  2. Center the object in the main telescope's eyepiece.
  3. Look through the finderscope and adjust its alignment screws until the same object is centered in the finderscope's crosshairs.

5.2 Enfocament

Once an object is centered in your eyepiece, turn the focus knob slowly until the image is sharp and clear. For fine adjustments, turn the knob slightly in either direction until the best focus is achieved.

5.3 Changing Magnification

Your telescope comes with two eyepieces (25mm and 10mm) and a 3X Barlow lens, allowing for various magnifications:

  • 25mm Eyepiece: Provides 16X magnification (400mm / 25mm = 16X). Ideal for wide-field views and locating objects.
  • 10mm Eyepiece: Provides 40X magnification (400mm / 10mm = 40X). Suitable for more detailed observations.
  • 3X Barlow Lens: Triples the magnification of any eyepiece. For example, with the 25mm eyepiece, it provides 48X (16X * 3 = 48X); with the 10mm eyepiece, it provides 120X (40X * 3 = 120X).

Always start with the lowest magnification (25mm eyepiece) to locate and center your target, then switch to higher magnifications for more detailed viewing.

6. Manteniment

  • Neteja de lents: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of optical cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid touching the lens surfaces with your fingers.
  • Emmagatzematge: When not in use, store the telescope in its carry bag in a cool, dry place, away from dust and moisture. Keep dust caps on the objective lens and eyepiece openings.
  • Atenció general: Avoid sudden impacts or dropping the telescope. Do not overtighten knobs or screws, as this can damage the components.

Image appears upside down or reversed.Normal for astronomical telescopes without an erecting prism.The included 48° Erecting BAK7 Prism corrects the image for terrestrial viewing. For astronomical viewing, an inverted image is common and does not affect observation.
Telescope shakes excessively.Unstable tripod setup; windy conditions.Ensure tripod legs are fully extended and stable on a firm surface. Observe in calm conditions if possible.
