FINDERSCOPE ALIGNMENT

1. Insert the lowest power eyepiece into the eyepiece adapter. Focus eyepiece

to view an easily recognizable distant object (car license plate, sign, table,

etc.).

2. Look through finderscope being careful not to move the telescope in any

way. Adjust finderscope focus by turning the eyepiece of the finderscope

back and forth until image is in focus. Check to see if the object viewed

through the eyepiece lines up at the center of the finderscope crosshairs. If

not, then your finderscope needs to be realigned.

3. To align finderscope, loosen the thumbscrews which secure the find-

erscope slightly. Gently move finderscope to center crosshairs on object.

Tighten thumbscrews to secure finderscope in new position. This may take

some time, but will make finding astronomical objects much easier when

using your telescope.

SOME NOTES ON VIEWING

Never look at the sun without using a solar filter. When using a solar filter,

do not remove the full lenscap, view only through the small opening in the

lenscap. Looking at the sun without proper use of a solar filter can cause

permanent eye damage.

When looking through the telescope, the image will appear to be upside-

down and inverted. This results from the optical system design and is

normal. This can be corrected by using a Schmidt or erecting prism when

viewing.

Use of the nderscope will help locate celestial objects more quickly as the

nderscope has a much wider eld of view than the telescope. When view-

ing, start with the lowest power magnication and work up to the desired

magnicaiton as this will simplify focusing greatly.

When viewing faint deep sky objects, images will not show color. The hu-

man eye is not able to distinguish the differences in color found in such dim

images. The lack of color is due to human anatomy, not any limitations of

telescope construction.
