1. ഉൽപ്പന്നം കഴിഞ്ഞുview

The Levenhuk Blitz 114s PLUS is a short-focus Newtonian reflector telescope designed for observing deep-sky objects and astrophotography. Its 114mm aperture and 500mm focal length provide a high-resolution, detailed view of celestial bodies. The compact design facilitates portability for observing sessions away from light pollution.

This telescope features a spherical primary mirror and anti-reflective coated glass optics, ensuring clear images with minimal distortion. It is equipped with an equatorial mount (EQ3) for manual tracking of celestial objects and an adjustable aluminum tripod.

2. സജ്ജീകരണവും അസംബ്ലിയും

Assembly of the Levenhuk Blitz 114s PLUS telescope involves several steps. It is recommended to perform the initial assembly indoors to familiarize yourself with the components.

2.1. Tripod and Mount Assembly

1. ഘടകങ്ങൾ അൺപാക്ക് ചെയ്യുക: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and identify them using the included components list.
2. ട്രൈപോഡ് സജ്ജീകരിക്കുക: Extend the legs of the aluminum tripod to a stable position. Adjust the height as needed using the leg clamps.
3. Attach Accessory Tray: Secure the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod. This tray provides stability and a convenient place for eyepieces.

4. Mount Equatorial Head: Place the EQ3 equatorial mount head onto the tripod. Secure it firmly with the locking screw located underneath the tripod head.
5. Attach Counterweight Bar and Counterweight: Thread the counterweight bar into the mount. Slide the counterweight onto the bar and secure it with its locking screw. The counterweight balances the telescope tube.

2.2. Optical Tube Assembly

6. Attach Tube Rings: Secure the tube rings to the equatorial mount. Ensure they are oriented correctly to hold the optical tube.
7. Mount Optical Tube: Carefully place the telescope optical tube into the tube rings. Close the rings and tighten the locking screws to hold the tube securely but without excessive force.
8. Install Focuser and Eyepieces: Insert the desired eyepiece (e.g., K25mm for initial setup) into the focuser. If using the Barlow lens, insert it first, then the eyepiece into the Barlow. Tighten the small thumbscrews to hold them in place.

9. Attach Finder Scope: Slide the finder scope into its bracket on the optical tube. Secure it with the small thumbscrews.

Proper balancing is crucial for smooth tracking and preventing strain on the mount. Adjust the counterweight position on the bar and the optical tube position within the tube rings until the telescope remains stationary when the mount clutches are disengaged.

3. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once assembled, the telescope is ready for use. Follow these steps for optimal viewing.

3.1. ഫൈൻഡർ സ്കോപ്പ് വിന്യസിക്കൽ

The finder scope must be aligned with the main telescope for easy object location.

1. Daytime Alignment: Point the main telescope at a distant, stationary object (e.g., a distant tree or building) during daylight hours.
2. Center Object: Look through the main telescope with a low-power eyepiece (e.g., K25mm) and center the object in the field of view.
3. Adjust Finder Scope: Look through the finder scope. Use its adjustment screws to move the crosshairs until they are centered on the same object.
4. വിന്യാസം പരിശോധിക്കുക: Switch between the main telescope and the finder scope to ensure both are pointing at the exact same spot.

3.2. ആകാശ വസ്തുക്കളെ നിരീക്ഷിക്കൽ

1. ഒരു ഐപീസ് തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക: Start with the lowest power eyepiece (K25mm) for a wider field of view, വസ്തുക്കൾ കണ്ടെത്തുന്നത് എളുപ്പമാക്കുന്നു.
2. Locate Object: Use the finder scope to point the telescope at your desired celestial object.
3. Center and Focus: Look through the main telescope's eyepiece. Use the slow-motion control knobs on the equatorial mount to precisely center the object. Rotate the focuser knobs until the image is sharp.

4. Increase Magnification (Optional): Once the object is centered and focused with the low-power eyepiece, you can switch to a higher-power eyepiece (K10mm) or use the 2x Barlow lens for greater magnification. Re-focus as needed.
5. ട്രാക്കിംഗ്: As celestial objects move across the sky due to Earth's rotation, use the slow-motion control knobs on the equatorial mount to keep the object centered in your field of view.
6. Lunar Filter: For observing the Moon, attach the lunar filter to the bottom of your eyepiece to reduce glare and enhance contrast.

4. പരിപാലനവും പരിചരണവും

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your telescope.

• പൊടി സംരക്ഷണം: Always keep dust caps on the optical tube and eyepieces when not in use.
• ക്ലീനിംഗ് ഒപ്റ്റിക്സ്:
  • Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove loose dust from lenses and mirrors.
  • 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.
  • നഗ്നമായ കൈകൊണ്ട് ഒപ്റ്റിക്കൽ പ്രതലങ്ങളിൽ തൊടുന്നത് ഒഴിവാക്കുക.
• സംഭരണം: Store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. If storing for extended periods, consider disassembling and returning components to their original packaging or a dedicated storage case.
• മെക്കാനിക്കൽ ഭാഗങ്ങൾ: Periodically check all screws and fasteners for tightness. Do not over-tighten.
• തീവ്രമായ താപനില ഒഴിവാക്കുക: ദൂരദർശിനിയെ ദ്രുത താപനില വ്യതിയാനങ്ങൾക്കോ ​​കടുത്ത ചൂട്/തണുപ്പ് എന്നിവയ്‌ക്കോ വിധേയമാക്കരുത്, കാരണം ഇത് ഒപ്റ്റിക്കൽ ഘടകങ്ങളെ ബാധിച്ചേക്കാം.
