Oppsett og montering
1. Pakk ut komponentene
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Set Up the Tripod
Extend the tripod legs to a stable height. Ensure the tripod is level. Attach the accessory tray to the center brace of the tripod.

3. Mount the Telescope Tube
Attach the SmartStar Alt-Azimuth Mount (The Cube) to the tripod head. Secure the R80 refractor optical tube to the mount using the dovetail connection. Ensure it is firmly locked in place.

4. Install Eyepieces
Insert either the K10 or K20 eyepiece into the focuser. Secure it with the thumbscrew. The K10 eyepiece provides higher magnification, while the K20 offers a wider field of view.

5. Connect the GoToNova Hand Controller
Plug the GoToNova hand controller cable into the designated port on the SmartStar mount. Ensure a secure connection.

6. Strømtilkobling
Connect the AC/DC power adapter to the mount and then to a power outlet. Alternatively, insert 8 AA batteries into the battery compartment (not shown, refer to mount diagram for location).

Bruksanvisning
1. Slå på og første oppsett
Once powered on, the GoToNova hand controller will display the initial setup menu. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the date, time, and location. Accurate input is crucial for precise GoTo functionality.

2. Alignment Procedure
The SmartStar-E-R80 requires alignment to accurately track celestial objects. The GoToNova hand controller will guide you through a 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star alignment process. For best results, choose bright, easily identifiable stars that are well-separated in the sky.
3. Selecting and Tracking Objects
Use the GoToNova hand controller to navigate through the database of 5,000 celestial objects. Select your desired object, and the telescope will automatically slew to its position and begin tracking it across the sky.
4. Fokusering
Once an object is centered in the eyepiece, use the focuser knob (located on the telescope tube) to achieve a sharp image. Turn the knob slowly until the image is clear.
Vedlikehold
- Rengjøring av optikk: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe away dust. For stubborn smudges, use a specialized optical cleaning solution sparingly. Avoid touching the lens surfaces with bare hands.
- Rengjøring av utvendig: Wipe the telescope tube and mount with a soft, damp klut. Ikke bruk skurende rengjøringsmidler eller løsemidler.
- Lagring: Store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. If possible, use the original packaging or a padded case to protect it from impacts and moisture.
- Batteribytte: If using AA batteries, replace all 8 batteries simultaneously when power levels are low to ensure consistent performance.
Feilsøking
| Problem | Mulig årsak | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Teleskopet slår seg ikke på. | No power, loose connection, dead batteries. | Check AC adapter connection or replace AA batteries. Ensure all cables are securely plugged in. |
| GoTo function is inaccurate. | Incorrect date/time/location, poor alignment, unstable tripod. | Verify date, time, and location settings. Perform a more accurate star alignment. Ensure the tripod is stable and level. |
| Bildet er uskarpt eller ute av fokus. | Focuser not adjusted, atmospheric conditions. | Adjust the focuser knob slowly. Wait for better viewing conditions if atmospheric turbulence is high. |
| Telescope does not track objects. | Tracking not enabled, alignment error. | Ensure tracking is enabled in the hand controller menu after alignment. Re-perform alignment if necessary. |
