Warning
Never aim your telescope or finder scope at the Sun without proper Solar filters installed on the front of the telescope. Doing so for even a moment may permanently damage your vision. Proper Solar filters consist of filters made by reputable manufacturers, designed to fit tightly over the front of the dew shield. Solar eyepiece filters are not considered safe, and should not be used. With proper front mounted Solar filters, the telescope will not be harmed by viewing the Sun.

NOTE
We are using a new lens cell design in the WO Pleiades series telescopes. This design incorporates the use of high-quality FPL-53 glass for superior optical performance. Before storing your telescope, it is crucial to allow it sufficient time to acclimatize to room temperature. Please ensure that the telescope is thoroughly dry, free of dew or moisture, before storing. This ensures the safety and longevity of the telescope’s components. Always store the telescope in a consistent-temperature and dry environment to prevent any potential damage to the optical elements. Remember to leave the tube uncovered and opened during the acclimatization period. As always, taking appropriate care of your telescope will ensure its optimal performance and extend its lifespan.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

  1. The focuser smoothness adjustment ONLY when necessary by progressively push & pull screws until you reach the desired smoothness.
  2. When using the telescope with the motor, please ensure that the tension screw is not over-tightened. Over-tightening the tension screw may cause damage to the focuser. Think of it like driving a car and pressing the gas pedal while also pressing the brake simultaneously. Just as this action could harm your car’s systems, over-tightening the tension screw could compromise the functionality of your telescope’s focuser.
