3. Arahan Perhimpunan

Follow these steps to assemble your Discovery Spark Travel 60 telescope:

1. Sediakan Tripod: Extend the tripod legs to a stable height. Secure the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod.
2. Pasang Gunung: Place the alt-azimuth mount onto the tripod head and secure it with the provided screw.
3. Pasang Tiub Optik: Attach the telescope optical tube to the alt-azimuth mount using the mounting rings or screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
4. Pasang Finderscope: Luncurkan pencari 5x24 ke dalam pendakapnya pada tiub optik dan ketatkan skru penahan.
5. Insert the Diagonal Mirror: Remove the dust cap from the focuser tube. Insert the diagonal mirror into the focuser and secure it with the small thumbscrew. The diagonal mirror provides a more comfortable viewsudut ing.
6. Masukkan Kanta Mata: Choose an eyepiece (e.g., H20mm for lowest magnification) and insert it into the diagonal mirror. Secure it with the thumbscrew.
7. Optional: Use the Barlow Lens: For increased magnification, insert the 3x Barlow lens into the diagonal mirror first, then insert an eyepiece into the Barlow lens.

4. Arahan Operasi

4.1 Aligning the Finderscope

The finderscope helps locate objects before viewing them through the main telescope. It must be aligned with the main telescope during daylight hours.

1. Point the main telescope at a distant, easily identifiable object (e.g., a tree top or a street light).
2. Letakkan objek di tengah-tengah kanta mata teleskop utama.
3. Lihat melalui finderscope dan laraskan skru penjajarannya sehingga objek yang sama berada di tengah-tengah rerambut silang finderscope.

4.2 Memberi tumpuan

Once an object is located, turn the focuser knob slowly until the image appears sharp and clear. Fine-tune the focus for optimal clarity.

4.3 Pembesaran Berubah

The magnification of your telescope is determined by the focal length of the telescope divided by the focal length of the eyepiece. Lower focal length eyepieces provide higher magnification.

• Low Magnification (H20mm): Use this eyepiece for initial object location and wide-field views.
• Medium Magnification (H12.5mm): Provides a closer view daripada objek.
• High Magnification (SR4mm): Best for detailed observations of the Moon and planets, but requires stable atmospheric conditions.
• Kanta Barlow: The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnification of any eyepiece it is used with. Insert it between the diagonal mirror and the eyepiece.

4.4 Terrestrial and Celestial Observation

The Discovery Spark Travel 60 is suitable for both daytime terrestrial viewing and nighttime celestial observation. For terrestrial viewing, the erect image eyepiece can be used to provide a correctly oriented image.

5. Penyelenggaraan

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your telescope.

• Pembersihan Optik: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Breathe lightly on the lens surface before gently wiping. Avoid touching optical surfaces with your fingers.
• Storan: Always store the telescope and its accessories in the provided carrying case in a dry, dust-free environment. Replace all dust caps when not in use.
• Pengendalian: Avoid sudden impacts or rough handling, which can misalign optical components.

6. Penyelesaian masalah

Jika anda menghadapi masalah, rujuk kepada masalah dan penyelesaian biasa berikut:

• Imej kabur: Adjust the focuser knob slowly until the image is sharp. Ensure the eyepiece is fully inserted and secured. Check for condensation on the lenses.
• Tidak dapat mencari objek: Ensure the finderscope is properly aligned with the main telescope (refer to Section 4.1). Start with the lowest magnification eyepiece (H20mm) for a wider field of view.
• Image is dim: This can occur with very high magnifications or in light-polluted areas. Try a lower magnification eyepiece.
• Image is upside down or reversed: Ini adalah perkara biasa untuk teleskop astronomi. Untuk teleskop terestrial viewing, use the erect image eyepiece.
