Use guide

  • Match the secondary mirror short axis to the primary mirror aperture for optimal performance
  • Use 20mm mirror with 76mm aperture main mirror; 25mm with 114mm; 35mm/40mm with 127mm–150mm; 70mm with 203mm
  • Ensure the telescope tube diameter and focuser allow space for the selected mirror size
  • Handle with care to avoid scratching the coated surface
