3 Congratulations on your purchase of an Orion Star Blast 6/6i IntelliScope Reflector telescope! It is a versatile and compact astronomical instrument designed to provide wondrous views of celestial objects while off ering unprecedented ease of use.
4 1. Unpacking Carefully unpac k the StarBlast 6/6i from its shipping box. We recommend k eeping the original shipping bo x and any smaller accessor y box es contained within it.

6 The follo wing parts are included in the small bo x contain- ing the IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator th at comes with the StarBlast 6i IntelliScope model (#27126) only . They are not included or needed with the standard StarBlast 6 (#9926).
7 bottom baseplate, y ou should also see three white plastic par ts: a shor t azimuth bushing, a long azimuth b ushing, and a flat T eflon bearing r ing ( Figure 4 ). The b ushings ma y hav e remained lodged in the center hole of the baseplate(s) when you remo v ed it.
8 baseplate. Make sure the short nylon bushing seats up into the hole. Now temporarily place a piece of duct tape, masking 7. tape, or pac king tape ov er the head of the azimuth axis bolt ( Figure 8 ). This will k eep the bolt from sliding down as you install the top baseplate , which you will do in step 10.
9 T o attach the altitude encoder board and altitude encoder 13. disk, you m ust first remov e the telescope mounting brac ket. Rotate the altitude axis tensioning knob counterclockwise and remo v e it completely . Y ou’ll see two flat washers and a ball bearing ring remaining on the mounting brac ket’ s shaft.
10 Attach the altitude encoder disk to the telescope 16. mounting brac ket with the three 5mm (~1/4") machine screws ( Figure 13a ). Place the aluminum spacer ring on the telescope mounting brac ket shaft with the flat side of the ring facing outw ard (the opposite side has an indentation around the hole).
11 5. Final Assembly of Y our T elescope (StarBlast 6/6i) Now you will complete the assembly of your telescope by installing the tube rings and optical tube assembly on the alt - azimuth base and attaching the included accessories. Bef ore getting star ted, locate the f ollowing items: Qty .
12 base, tighten the two screws with a screwdriver until the rac k is secured in place. Insert an Eyepiece Remov e the small cap cov ering the focuser dra wtube and loosen the two eyepiece locking thumbscrews on the dr awtube collar .
13 At the end of your obser ving session, be sure to tur n the po wer knob counterclockwise until it clic ks off. When the two white dots on the EZ Finder II’ s rail and pow er knob are lined up , the EZ Finder II is turned off.
14 seeing aff ects images at high pow ers more se verely . Planetar y obser ving ma y also be poor . In conditions of good seeing, star twinkling is minimal and images appear steady in the ey epiece. Seeing is best over - head, worst at the hor iz on.
15 One can merely be a pretty image someone gav e to you. The other is an e xperience you will ne v er f orget! Objects to Observe Now that you are all set up and ready to go , one critical deci - sion must be made: what to look at? A.
16 will help y ou locate the brightest and best deep-sky objects f or viewing with your StarBlast 6/6i. Of course, if you pur - chased the StarBlast 6i IntelliScope, y ou will be able to easily locate.
17 it le v el? If so , thread the jam nut tight against the back of the L-brac ket to secure the v er tical stop knob in that e xact posi - tion. If the top of the optical tube is not le vel, thread the ver tical stop bolt in or out as needed until the top of the tube is le vel when the end r ing comes in contact with the v er tical stop knob .
18 Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the names of the alignment stars . The up arrow button scrolls through the stars alphabetically from A to Z.
19 The Guide Arro ws The controller leads you to astronomical targets with guide arrows displa yed on the LCD screen. After an object is select- ed to view , y ou will see two guide arrows , one that points left or right, and one that points up or down.
20 planet’ s orange-colored hue. Like V enus, Mercur y sometimes appears as a crescent, rather than as a full disk. VENUS At its brightest, V enus is the most luminous object in the sky , e xcluding the Sun and the Moon.
21 will then cycle information about the object you are viewing such as its celestial coordinates (R.A. and Dec.), magnitude (brightness), size (in arc-minutes or arc-seconds), and a br ief scrolling te xt description.
22 from the ne xt constellation (in alphabetical order) will be dis - pla yed. T o select another constellation in which to view a star cluster , press the Cluster button again. Locating Galaxies Nebulas may be beautiful and star clusters impressive, but nothing has quite the breathtaking power of obser ving a gal - axy .
23 pare the current br ightness of the variable star to other stars around it (whose magnitudes are known and do not change ov er time). T o select a v ar iable star to observe , press Enter after selecting “V ARIABLE” from the Star b utton choices.
24 then use the up/and down arrow b uttons to scroll through se v- eral more specific options (“ST AR”, “DOUBLE”, “CLUSTER”, “NEBULA”, and “GALAXY”). If you know which one of these object types you are looking at, selecting the object type will make the identification quick er and more accurate.
25 displa yed on the first line of the LCD screen. The lower left of the screen indicates the current constellation the telescope is pointing to . The lower right numbers are the current azimuth (“AZ”) and altitude (“AL T”) coordinates of the telescope; this inf ormation is generally not useful.
26 each of the digit pairs rises and falls. None of the digit pairs should ev er go above “F3. ” If the y do , then the encoder disk is too close to the sensors on the encoder board. This will gener- ally not happen in altitude, b ut can happen in azimuth.

28 Appendix A: Collimating the Optics Collimating is the process of adjusting the mirrors so they are aligned with one another . Y our teles cope’ s opti cs were alig ned at th e f acto ry , an d sho uld n ot ne ed m uch a dju stm ent u nle ss th e telescope was handled roughly in transit.
29 Preparing the T elescope for Collimating Once y ou get the hang of collimating, y ou will be able to do it quickly e v en in the dar k. For now , it is best to collimate in day- light, pref erab ly in a brightly lit room and aimed at a white w all.
30 in the secondary mirror holder about a quarter of a tur n only (counterclockwise). That should be enough to free up the sec- ondar y mirror to rotate slightly in either direction. Look into the collimation cap and rotate the mirror slightly in each direction to get an idea of how it aff ects the view of the secondar y mir - ror .
31 If y ou tr y the star test and the bright star y ou have selected is not accurately centered in the eyepiece , the optics will alwa ys appear out of collimation, ev en though they may be perfectly aligned.
32 screws? If y ou didn’t and the disk is free to rotate on the mounting brac ket shaft, the IntelliScope system will not work. Did you install the alumin um spacer ring on the telescope 6.
