Packing Up

Use the telescope kit checklist to make sure you still have everything you started with

(check around the ground nearby, your pockets, and nearby telescope kits if necessary)

and that you haven’t inherited extra parts from someone else’s kit. The LX200 only fits

in the case one way so please don’t force it in the wrong way. Once in the case, unlock

the RA and Dec clamps as this will avoid damaging the drive and clamp mechanisms

during transport of the cases. Remember to remove the finderscope from the telescope

by loosening the thumbscrews on the quick-release mount. Use the checklist to make

sure the accessories get back in the proper case (be it the telescope case or the accessory

case). If after you leave class, you discover that you’ve accidentally walked off with

something from class please make sure you contact you instructor by email as soon as

possible to arrange for its return. This can be avoided by using the cases as working

storage rather than your pockets!
