Levenhuk SkyMatic 127 GT MAK - Manual (Page 5)

Congratulations!
Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Levenhuk SkyMatic GoTo telescope! This series
includes modern state of the art optical instruments that allow you to easily navigate across the
celestial sphere and find exactly what you need in no time at all! Easy-to-use controls provide
you with a simple way to locate desired objects and begin your observations at the touch of a
button. The expansive database includes coordinates of over 42,900 objects. Even an
inexperienced stargazer can learn all the functions after a few observations.
If this is your first GoTo telescope, congratulations on making this first step into the world of
amateur stargazing.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with the night sky and learn to recognize the major stars
and constellations. With a little practice, a little patience, and a reasonably dark sky away from
city lights, you’ll find your telescope to be a never-ending source of wonder, joy and exploration.
These instructions will help you set up, properly use, and care for your telescope. Please read
them thoroughly before getting started.
CAUTION! Never look directly at the Sun – even for an instant – through your telescope or
finderscope without a professionally made solar filter that completely covers the front of
the instrument, or permanent eye damage may result. To avoid damage to the internal
parts of your telescope, make sure the front end of the finderscope is covered with
aluminum foil or another non-transparent material. Children should use the telescope
under adult supervision only.
All parts of the telescope will arrive in one box. Be careful when unpacking it. We recommend
keeping the original shipping containers. In the event that the telescope needs to be shipped to
another location, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope
survives the journey intact. Make sure all the parts are present in the packaging. Be sure to
check the box carefully, as some parts are small. No tools are needed other than those provided.
All screws should be tightened securely to eliminate flexing and wobbling, but be careful not to
overtighten them, as that may strip the threads.
During assembly (and anytime, for that matter), do not touch the surfaces of the optical
elements with your fingers. The optical surfaces have delicate coatings on them that can easily
be damaged if touched. Never remove mirrors from their housing, or the product warranty will
be null and void.
