Figure 4a: To balance the telescope, move it forward or back in the rings
If you are using a very heavy eyepiece, first try tightening
the altitude tensioning knob. If the telescope still doesn’t
have enough tension or becomes hard to move, rebalance
the telescope.
FOCUSING
Your SSE Tabletop Dobs features a 1.25” rack-and-
pinion focuser. To use a 1.25” eyepiece, simply place it
in the focuser and tighten the thumbscrews to secure the
eyepiece in place.
To focus, turn the focus knobs clockwise or
counterclockwise until the object in the telescope
eyepiece is in sharp focus.
Figure 5: Secure the 1.25” eyepiece in the focuser with the thumbscrews.
Since the SSE Tabletop Dob is a Newtonian reflector, the
images appear upside-down compared to the naked eye
(Figure 6). While this has little impact on astronomical
observation, it can be a bit confusing when you are viewing
land-based objects.

images that appear upside-down compared to the naked eye.
ROTATING THE OPTICAL TUBE
You may want to rotate the optical tube relative to the base
for a more comfortable, ergonomic viewing position. To do
so, slightly loosen the clamping knob(s) on the cradle or
tube rings, rotate the tube in the cradle/rings, and retighten
the clamping knob(s) (Figure 6a).
