Congratulations on your purchase of an Orion SkyQuest XTi IntelliScope Dobsonian. It is a high-perfor-
mance astronomical instrument designed to provide dazzling views of celestial objects and unprecedent-
ed ease of use. With the addition of the optional IntelliScope Computerized Object Locator (Controller), 
you gain the ability to locate and view thousands of celestial objects with the push of a button. Searching 
for faint objects – so often a source of frustration for telescope users – is a thing of the past, as the Intel-
liScope’s high-resolution digital encoders find them for you in seconds. It’s so easy!
Your SkyQuest IntelliScope will provide years of stargazing enjoyment, thanks to its large-aperture, preci-
sion optics; its innovative, user-friendly design; its complement of outstanding features and accessories; 
and most of all, its easy object locating technology. We hope you enjoy your journey through the universe!
Please read these instructions thoroughly before beginning assembly and subsequent use of the telescope.
1. unpacking
The telescope is packed in two boxes (three for the XT12i), 
one containing the optical tube assembly and accessories, 
the other containing the unassembled Dobsonian base (the 
third box for the XT12i includes the mirror and cell). Be care-
ful unpacking the boxes. We recommend keeping the original 
shipping containers. In the event that the telescope needs to 
be shipped to another location, or returned to Orion for war-
ranty repair, having the proper shipping containers will help 
ensure that your telescope will survive the journey intact.
Make sure all the parts in the Parts List are present. Be sure 
to check boxes carefully, as some parts are small. If anything 
appears to be missing or broken, immediately call Orion Cus-
tomer Support (800-676-1343) or email:
sales@telescope.com for assistance.
