Orion Skyquest Xt12
Oct 04, 2018 The Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 is a reflector telescope which means it uses mirrors to gather and focus light. Unlike refractor telescopes like the Celestron AstroMaster 90EQ which use a lens, reflector telescope do require more maintenance. Regular collimation (aligning the.

- Apr 27, 2017 The SkyQuest XT4.5 Classic Dobsonian Telescope Kit comes with extra accessories at a great value! The popular Shorty 2x Barlow doubles the magnification of any 1.25' eyepiece for a power boost. The included Orion MoonMap 260 is a useful reference map of the Moon's surface that will help the whole family learn the names and locations of more.
- The Orion 10014 SkyQuest XT 4.5 is a telescope designed for those who are looking for a model that’s ready to travel. Excellent value for money, this telescope is simple enough for beginners to use without issue but can perform well enough to suit the needs of intermediate and advanced stargazers who want to be able to view the night sky easily while on the go.
This Addendum covers assembly and use of the SkyQuest
XX12 Truss Tube Dobsonian in its native (non-IntelliScope)
configuration; that is, without the IntelliScope Computerized
Object Locator. In this configuration, the XX12 is designed to
be used like a traditional Dob, without the aid of digital object
location technology. You should refer to optional star maps
and/or astronomy software programs to help you locate and
view objects of interest.
If you decide later that you would like to upgrade your XX12
to add the IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator (#7888),
you can purchase it separately.
This addendum includes additions and revisions to IN 339, the
instruction manual that was written for, and comes with, the
#9793 SkyQuest XX12i IntelliScope Truss Tube Dobsonian
with Computerized Object Locator. Most of the information in
the XX12i Instruction Manual is relevant to the #27190 native
XX12. However, any reference to the IntelliScope Object
Locator Kit or its component parts can simply be ignored.
Below is a list of specific sections of the original instruc-
tion manual that can be disregarded. You may find it useful
to lightly pencil an “X” over these sections in the manual as
a reminder to ignore them when reading through it. Don’t
completely obscure the text and figures, though! Should you
decide to add the IntelliScope functionality in the future by
purchasing the optional IntelliScope Object Locator Kit, you
will want to be able to read all of the material in the original
telescope manual.

Section 2. Assembly – Assembly of the Dobsonian Base
Since your #27190 SkyQuest XX12 Truss Tube Dobsonian
does not include the IntelliScope Computerized Object
Locator Kit, you will not need to install the altitude encoder
assembly, cables, bumper, and the other associated parts.
You should, however, install the azimuth encoder disc and the
brass azimuth bushing as described in steps 9 and 10. These
parts are identified in Figure 5 as parts J and F, respectively.
The bushing is needed to properly sleeve the azimuth axis
screw, and the metal encoder disc provides a secure platform
on which the brass bushing seats. Refer to Figure 7 in the
instruction manual to see them installed.
It is not necessary, however, to install the azimuth encoder
board (E in Figure 5) and spacer washers (O and P) described
in step 6. Nor do you need to attach the encoder connector
board (step 15) that came with your scope. Keep these and
any other unused parts in a safe place, though; you will need
them if you ever decide to add the optional Computerized
Object Locator.
