Also geometrical alignment of optical details, installation of control systems, checking of operating of the main junctions of the telescope - drivers, focusing unit, gears of opening of lids of the main mirror - were made. Final balancing of AZT-33IK with optical details and frames was conducted too. Before all the tests were conducted with weight and dimensional simulators.
   By means of new telescope scientists of the Russian Academy of science have already conducted first testing observations and were satisfied by quality of optical system.
