How to Attach and Balance the Optical Tube of Your Meade DS-2000 Series Reflecting Telescope

The optical tube is the main optical component that gathers the light from distant objects and brings this light to a focus for observation with the eyepiece.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

1. Replace the optical tube into the cradle ring.
2. Tighten the cradle ring lock knob so that it holds the optical tube loosely; do not tighten the cradle ring lock knob at this point.
3. Slide the tube back and forth until you find a position where the tube remains horizontal (without tipping up and down).
4. Tighten the cradle ring lock knob firmly.

Tips & Warnings

• Handle the optical tube with care.
• Never point the optical tube directly at the sun.
