The visual back is the accessory that allows you to attach all visual accessories to the 8" telescope. The 8" telescope optical

tubes come with the visual back installed. If it is not already on the tube it can be attached as follows:

1. Remove the rubber cover on the rear cell.

2. Place the knurled slip ring on the visual back over the threads on the rear cell (Fig 1-1).

3. Hold the visual back with the set screw in a convenient position and rotate the knurled slip ring clockwise until tight.

Once this is done, you are ready to attach other accessories, such as eyepieces, diagonal prisms, etc.

If you want to remove the visual back, rotate the slip ring counterclockwise until it is free of the rear cell.

The star diagonal is a prism or mirror that diverts the light at a right angle to the light path of the telescope. This allows you

to observe in positions that are physically more comfortable than if you looked straight through.

To attach the 1.25" star diagonal onto the 8" optical tube:

1. Turn the set screw on the visual back until its tip no

longer extends into (i.e., obstructs) the inner diameter of

the visual back.

2. Slide the chrome portion of the star diagonal into the

visual back.

3. Tighten the set screw on the visual back to hold the star

diagonal in place.

If you wish to change the orientation of the star diagonal, loosen

the set screw on the visual back until the star diagonal rotates

freely. Rotate the diagonal to the desired position and tighten the

set screw.

To attach the 2" star diagonal onto the 9.25/11/14" optical tubes:

1. Remove the visual back from the rear of the tube.

2. Attach the threaded ring of the 2" diagonal to the rear cell of

the telescope.

3. Loosen the thumb screws on the side of the diagonal and

remove the 1.25" adapter from the barrel of the diagonal.

If you wish to change the orientation of the 2" star diagonal, loosen the

retaining ring that attaches the diagonal to the rear cell. Rotate the

diagonal to the desired position and tighten the retaining ring.
