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

1. ట్రైపాడ్‌ను సెటప్ చేయండి: Extend the tripod legs to a stable height. Secure the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod.
2. మౌంట్‌ను అటాచ్ చేయండి: Place the alt-azimuth mount onto the tripod head and secure it with the provided screw.
3. Mount the Optical Tube: Attach the telescope optical tube to the alt-azimuth mount using the mounting rings or screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
4. ఫైండర్‌స్కోప్‌ను ఇన్‌స్టాల్ చేయండి: Slide the 5x24 finderscope into its bracket on the optical tube and tighten the retaining screws.
5. వికర్ణ దర్పణాన్ని చొప్పించండి: 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 viewing కోణం.
6. ఒక ఐపీస్ చొప్పించండి: 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.

4.1 ఫైండర్‌స్కోప్‌ను సమలేఖనం చేయడం

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. ప్రధాన టెలిస్కోప్ యొక్క ఐపీస్‌లో వస్తువును మధ్యలో ఉంచండి.
3. ఫైండర్‌స్కోప్‌ను పరిశీలించి, అదే వస్తువు ఫైండర్‌స్కోప్ యొక్క క్రాస్‌హైర్‌లలో కేంద్రీకృతమయ్యే వరకు దాని అలైన్‌మెంట్ స్క్రూలను సర్దుబాటు చేయండి.

4.2 దృష్టి కేంద్రీకరించడం

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 Changing Magnification

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 of objects.
• High Magnification (SR4mm): Best for detailed observations of the Moon and planets, but requires stable atmospheric conditions.
• బార్లో లెన్స్: 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. నిర్వహణ

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

• క్లీనింగ్ ఆప్టిక్స్: 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.
• నిల్వ: 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.
• నిర్వహణ: Avoid sudden impacts or rough handling, which can misalign optical components.

మీరు సమస్యలను ఎదుర్కొంటే, ఈ క్రింది సాధారణ సమస్యలు మరియు పరిష్కారాలను చూడండి:

• చిత్రం అస్పష్టంగా ఉంది: Adjust the focuser knob slowly until the image is sharp. Ensure the eyepiece is fully inserted and secured. Check for condensation on the lenses.
• వస్తువులు దొరకడం లేదు: 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.
• చిత్రం మసకగా ఉంది: This can occur with very high magnifications or in light-polluted areas. Try a lower magnification eyepiece.
• Image is upside down or reversed: ఇది ఖగోళ టెలిస్కోపులకు సాధారణం. భూగోళ viewing, use the erect image eyepiece.

8. భద్రతా సమాచారం

• ఎప్పుడూ look directly at the sun through your telescope or its finderscope without a professionally manufactured solar filter. Permanent and irreversible eye damage, including blindness, can result.
• Supervise children when using the telescope to ensure safe operation.
• Do not leave the telescope unattended in direct sunlight, as it can concentrate sunlight and pose a fire hazard.
• ఉక్కిరిబిక్కిరి అయ్యే ప్రమాదాలను నివారించడానికి చిన్న ఉపకరణాలను చిన్నపిల్లలకు దూరంగా ఉంచండి.
