FAQs:

Which mount is used by the telescope?

The telescope is attached to the tripod using the azimuthal mounting which lets you freely move the telescope up and down, left and right. You will not be needed to adjust the tripod to focus the telescope on an object.

Which eyepiece is right for the telescope?

For the beginning of observations, it is recommended to use an eyepiece with the highest focal length, which is indicated in millimetres and written on each eyepiece. You can gradually move to eyepieces with smaller focal widths.

Where is the smartphone holder attached?

The smartphone holder should be attached to the microscope eyepiece in a way that the image can be precisely centred on the screen.

What is the zenith mirror used for?

It is a mirror that deflects rays of light at a 90-degree angle and is used in this horizontal telescope tube so you can comfortably observe by looking downwards into the eyepiece.
