ALIGNING THE
FINDERSCOPE
The fi nder is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you
locate objects and center them in the eyepiece. The fi rst time you assemble your
telescope, you need to align the fi nder to the telescope's main optics. It's best to
do this during the day*.
* SOLAR WARNING!
Never attempt to view the sun through any telescope
!
without a proper solar fi lter
1
CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and fi nd an
easily recognizable object, like a streetlight, license
plate or sign. The object should be as far away as
possible, but at least a quarter mile away.
4
ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the three fi nger
knobs surrounding the fi nderscope bracket to move
the fi nder around in the bracket until the crosshair
appears over the same object you are observing in the
telescope's 20mm eyepiece.
TIP: Try adjusting one screw at a time. Loosen one
screw by half a turn and tighten another by
the same amount to ensure the fi nderscope is
securely held in place.
2
CENTER THE TARGET
IN THE EYEPIECE
Look through the telescope using your lower powered
eyepiece. Move the telescope until the object you
chose lies in the center of the view. If the image is
blurry, gently turn the focus knobs on either side of the
telescope until it comes into sharp focus.
NOTE: The image in your telescope may appear
inverted. This is perfectly normal in an
astronomical telescope.
5
YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS
NOW ALIGNED!
It should not require realignment unless it is bumped
or dropped.
3
LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE
Once the object is centered in your 20mm eyepiece,
look through the finderscope and locate the
crosshair reticle.
