3. Instrucciones de montaje

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

1. Configurar el trípode: Extienda las patas del trípode a una altura estable. Fije la bandeja de accesorios al soporte central del trípode.
2. Coloque el soporte: Place the alt-azimuth mount onto the tripod head and secure it with the provided screw.
3. Monte el tubo óptico: Attach the telescope optical tube to the alt-azimuth mount using the mounting rings or screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
4. Instalar el Finderscope: Deslice el buscador 5x24 en su soporte en el tubo óptico y apriete los tornillos de retención.
5. Insertar el espejo diagonal: 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 viewángulo de ing.
6. Insertar un ocular: 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. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

4.1 Alineación del buscador

El buscador ayuda a localizar objetos antes 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. Centre el objeto en el ocular del telescopio principal.
3. Mire a través del buscador y ajuste los tornillos de alineación hasta que el mismo objeto esté centrado en la cruz del buscador.

4.2 Enfoque

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 Cambio de aumento

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.
• Lente 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. Mantenimiento

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

• Limpieza de la óptica: 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.
• Almacenamiento: 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.
• Manejo: Avoid sudden impacts or rough handling, which can misalign optical components.

6. Solución de problemas

Si encuentra problemas, consulte los siguientes problemas y soluciones comunes:

• La imagen es borrosa: Adjust the focuser knob slowly until the image is sharp. Ensure the eyepiece is fully inserted and secured. Check for condensation on the lenses.
• No se pueden encontrar objetos: 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.
• La imagen es tenue: This can occur with very high magnifications or in light-polluted areas. Try a lower magnification eyepiece.
• La imagen está al revés o invertida: This is normal for astronomical telescopes. For terrestrial viewing, use the erect image eyepiece.

8. Información de seguridad

• NUNCA 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.
• Mantenga los accesorios pequeños fuera del alcance de los niños pequeños para evitar riesgos de asfixia.
