5 Handling & Safety The T elepor t is a precise, lightweight, ver y portable 10” reflecting telescope. It has a “Newtonian” optical system and an altazimuth or “Dobsonian” type mounting. Many aspects of it are more advanced than other telescopes of this type, and some special techniques are needed for proper operation.
6 Unpacking Unpacking your scope 1. Wi th the box f laps open and the top foam pad remo v ed, or ient the bo x so the T eleport logo on the top of the cov er is right-reading. 2. Slide a hand do wn each side about tw o inches and insert your fingers belo w the co ver f laps and into the altitude rings (see F ig 4, page 5) 3.
7 Getting Started Unlocking from “Shipping Mode” The T elepor t is simply closed for routine transpor t and opened again for use. When it was packed for shipping, the primar y mirror was “locked” and must be “unlocked” before first use.
8 Opening Opening the T elepor t takes less than a minute, once you are familiar with the procedure. It’s ver y easy , but improperly performing some steps can cause collimation error , reducing the image quality . It can also cause poor stability , and even damage even damage even damage even damage even damage.
9 5. Continuing to lift f irmly with y our left hand, almost enough to lift the scope from t he ground, tighten both left strut clamps with your right (Fig 1 6). 6. Grasp the right strut upper section f irmly with your right hand, and again hold upwar d enough to almost lift the scope.
10 Closing Closing the T elepor t is quite easy , but several small details will make a difference. As with the opening procedure, per form the steps in a precise and consistent way , practicing to make it easier and to minimize the potential for an accident.
11 Collimation Any optical system must be properly collimated for best image quality . Collimation procedures can become a bit involved, as indicated by the many ar ticles and books in telescope literature.
12 Fig 21: Pulse control The Finder The T elepor t’s Rigel Systems finder lets you easily place a par ticular object or sky area in the eyepiece field. It is easier to use than con- ventional finder scopes that have a more limited field or a reversed image, or both.
13 Finding Objects Look directl y at the star or o ther object, or the area of t he sky you w ant to aim at. Keeping bot h ey es open, mo v e the T eleport so that the f inder comes betw een one ey e and where you w ant t o aim. P osition it so the object or area is centered in the circles.
14 Eyepieces The T elepor t’s 2” focuser and 1.25” adapter allow the use of many different eyepieces. Many types are available with a wide range of features, quality and price. Over the past several years I have evalu- ated many of the better types for use with the T elepor t.
15 Holding the Eyepiece in Place The clam ping scre w can be insert ed in an y of three threaded holes in t he f ocuser . I don’t normally use it, as t he n y lon fr iction scre w in the f ocuser is more con v enient. Set it to be just snug f or your e yepieces.
16 Observing Ever y observer has favorite methods and objects. Many excellent books are available to help the beginner become familiar with the sky and learn the procedures for studying it. Here we present a few suggestions regarding the use of the T elepor t, leaving the broad view of obser ving up to you and your chosen reference materials.
17 Vi ewing Begin with lower power. Begin with lower power. Begin with lower power. Begin with lower power. Begin with lower power. If y ou are not an e xperienced obser v er , use ey epieces in the 20-40 mm f ocal length rang e to make f inding objects easier .
18 Electrical Power Supply Y our Teleport is equipped with a po w er suppl y , fan, and secondary and ey epiece heaters. These enhance y our obser ving under certain condi- tions b y quick er tem perature eq uilibration of the primar y mirror and r eduction of de w f ormation problems.
19 Mirror Fan The mirror fan speeds up the cooling or w arming of the pr imary mir r or when the T eleport has been stored in warmer or colder conditions. While changing tem perature, t he mirror will distor t, reducing imag e q uality . If you wish to observe right a wa y , switch the fan on when y ou set up t he scope.
20 Cleaning Cleaning the Primary Pro tect your mirror b y keeping y our telescope closed when not in use, so that cleaning will be needed v er y infr equentl y . Over time, y ou will see an accumulation of dirt, but it will hav e less effect on the imag e q uality than y ou w ould e xpect.
21 16 . If y ou ha ve a source of clean dry air , blow the w ater off the mir ror , including the rear triangles. If y ou don't hav e the air source, allo w the mirror to stand until dr y . 17 .R eplace the mirror in the cell in its or iginal orientation (serial number at the top) and press the str ap tape against the mirror edge.
