The next thing that you have to do is attach the acccessory tray bracket, This is quite easy, and typically a reflector you will need to use a Phillips head screwdriver to do this.
Different models have the accessory tray in different positions, so this part does depend on your telescope. This depends on whether you have an equatorial mount or an Alt-az mount. The next step is to attach the two tube rings to the top of your mount, and then attach the optical tube itself. You can play the optical tube quite comfortably into the rings, and they secure the tube by securing the two rings over the tube itself.
Again, this is only if you have an equatorial mount, but now is the best time to balance your telescope out. You can slide the weight up and down to see whether your optical tube continues to fall — it should balance itself out at a horizontal angle. The first thing that you need to do is ensure that your secondary mirror is actually in line with the primary mirror.
After this, you should place the laser collimator into the draw tube. You can then use the compass to adjust the mount in the direction of true north and away from the magnetic north. In this case, make sure that the polar axis is properly aligned and set it for the latitude of your area or wherever you are mounting the telescope.
You can check your position on the website iTouchmap. Once you know your latitude, mark a right-angled triangle on the stiff card which has one of the angles the same as your latitude.
This triangle can be used as a template to check the amount of adjustment needed to be made to the mount in order to get the perfect polar alignment.
Hold the triangle against the mount, with the longest side of the triangle aligned against the polar axis, with the spirit level placed on the shortest side. Right, you can now move the altitude adjustment bolt until the spirit level is perfectly level.
Point the telescope towards it so that it is perfectly parallel to the polar axis of the EQ mount. Make sure that the Polaris is within the field of view of the finderscope and the lower power eyepiece. Next, loosen the polar axis clutch to ensure the accuracy of the polar alignment. Once the Polaris is aligned accurately, it should move in a small circle within the field of view of the finderscope. In case it is not, make tiny adjustments to the azimuth and altitude of the mount head till it is so.
You can now use the Equatorial Mount freely. So this is how to set up an Equatorial Mount. The number of the eyepiece represents the focal length and power of a telescope. The higher the number is, the lower the magnifying power will be and vice versa. The higher the power is, the higher will be the magnification.
So in an ideal case, you would want to opt for a telescope with low numbers to get maximum power and high magnification. A Barlow works in conjunction with an eyepiece to increase the magnification of that eyepiece by a factor of 2 or more. Most Barlows on the market can multiply the magnification by 2X, which is indicated on the barrel of the Barlow, same to how the focal length is indicated on an eyepiece.
Warning: Do not try to look at the sun without proper filtration over the eyepiece. If you do so, you can irreparably damage your eyes just within a few moments. There are two types of viewfinders typically found in a telescope, i. However, on the other hand, a broad field, zero magnification image of the sky is displayed using a red dot finder. After this, you would need to set up the viewfinder, and this would be the last step in understanding your telescope utterly.
It is just a myth that you cannot use a telescope during the day. By using appropriate filters, one can use it both during day and night time. Use it outdoors or on the terrace. It will be a good example to give you a general view of how Gskyer telescopes work.
Gskyer Telescope az is an easy-to-use telescope, that comes with two eyepieces. The telescope tube has two places for the eyepiece and an adjusting wheel that are rotated for adjusting magnification. Both the eyepieces are replaceable.
With minor effort, eyepieces can be replaced. Gskyer telescope az has an alt-azimuth mount, which means that it moves only in straight lines and not parallel and allows. It comes with a sustainable tripod that despite its solid built it is pretty lightweight and portable.
