படம் 2.1: All components included in the Galileo FS-80Z Astronomical Telescope Kit. This image displays the main telescope tube, tripod, various eyepieces, Barlow lens, erecting eyepiece, Mars-Eye electronic finderscope, and the planetarium software CD.
படம் 2.2: The Galileo FS-80Z optical tube assembly mounted on its altitude azimuth yoke mount and fully adjustable metal tripod. This shows the telescope ready for observation.
படம் 2.3: The 1¼″ 6.8mm - 16mm Bonus Zoom Eyepiece. This eyepiece allows for variable magnification without needing to swap eyepieces.
படம் 2.4: The 1¼″ 3x Astroscopic Barlow Lens. This accessory triples the magnification of any eyepiece it is used with, as illustrated by the moon images.
படம் 2.5: The 1¼″ 1.5x Bonus Erecting Eyepiece. This eyepiece corrects the image orientation, making the telescope suitable for terrestrial viewing, as shown with the bird images.
3. அமைவு வழிமுறைகள்
Follow these steps to assemble your Galileo FS-80Z telescope:
- முக்காலி அமைப்பு: Unfold the pre-assembled metal tripod. Extend the legs to your desired height and secure them. Ensure the accessory tray is properly attached and stable.
- மவுண்ட் அசெம்பிளி: The altitude azimuth yoke mount is integrated with the tripod. Ensure all locking mechanisms are secure.
- ஆப்டிகல் குழாயை இணைக்கவும்: Carefully place the 800mm x 80mm Optical Tube Assembly (OTA) onto the yoke mount. Secure it using the provided fasteners. Ensure the tube is balanced.
- Install Finderscope: Attach the Galileo Mars-Eye Electronic Finderscope to its designated bracket on the optical tube.
- கண் கண்ணாடியைச் செருகவும்: Loosen the thumbscrew on the 1¼″ Helical Rack & Pinion Focuser. Insert your chosen eyepiece (e.g., 20mm for initial wide-field viewing) into the focuser. Tighten the thumbscrew gently to secure it.
- Power On Finderscope: If your Mars-Eye Electronic Finderscope requires batteries, install them and power it on.
குறிப்பு: Always handle optical components with care. Avoid touching lens surfaces directly.
4. இயக்க வழிமுறைகள்
Once assembled, follow these steps to operate your telescope:
- Align Finderscope: Before observing, align the Mars-Eye Electronic Finderscope with the main telescope. Point the main telescope at a distant, stationary object (e.g., a distant tree or building) during daylight hours. Look through the main telescope's eyepiece and center the object. Then, look through the finderscope and adjust its alignment screws until the red dot (or reticle) is also centered on the same object.
- Targeting Objects: Use the Mars-Eye Electronic Finderscope to quickly locate celestial objects. Once the object appears in the finderscope's view, look through the main telescope's eyepiece.
- கவனம் செலுத்துதல்: Use the 1¼″ Helical Rack & Pinion Focuser to bring the image into sharp focus. Turn the focusing knob slowly until the image is clear.
- உருப்பெருக்கத்தை மாற்றுதல்:
- கண் இமைகள்: To change magnification, swap eyepieces. The 20mm eyepiece provides lower magnification and a wider field of view, ideal for locating objects. The 6mm eyepiece provides higher magnification for detailed views.
- Zoom Eyepiece: The 6.8mm - 16mm Zoom Eyepiece allows you to smoothly adjust magnification within its range without changing eyepieces. Rotate the barrel to zoom in or out.
- பார்லோ லென்ஸ்: Insert the 3x Astroscopic Barlow Lens into the focuser first, then insert any eyepiece into the Barlow lens. This will triple the magnification of the eyepiece. For example, a 20mm eyepiece with the 3x Barlow will provide the magnification of a 6.67mm eyepiece.
- நிலப்பரப்பு Viewing: For observing land objects, use the 1.5x Erecting Eyepiece. This accessory corrects the inverted image produced by the telescope, making it suitable for daytime use. Insert it into the focuser before your chosen eyepiece.
- உயர சரிசெய்தல்: Use the slow motion altitude adjustment rod for precise vertical tracking of celestial objects.
எச்சரிக்கை: Never look directly at the sun through your telescope or finderscope without a certified solar filter. Permanent eye damage will result.
5. பராமரிப்பு
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your telescope:
- லென்ஸ் சுத்தம்: Dust on the objective lens or eyepieces should be removed with a soft brush or compressed air. For smudges or fingerprints, use a specialized optical cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth designed for optics. Apply solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- சேமிப்பு: When not in use, store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. Replace all lens caps to protect the optics.
- Tripod and Mount: Periodically check all screws and bolts on the tripod and mount for tightness. Do not overtighten.
- அதிக வெப்பநிலையைத் தவிர்க்கவும்: Do not expose the telescope to rapid temperature changes, which can cause condensation on optical surfaces.
