How to use the eyepieces & accessories
It is recommended to follow this order when assembling your telescope for the first time. It will help you better understand what
each piece does.
17
1. Focuser
Rotate the focus knob away from you until the focus tube goes no further. To focus the view, slowly rotate the focus knobs
toward you until the image is sharp.
Note that the eyepiece has to be inserted otherwise you will not see the image.
18
2. Eyepiece
Insert an eyepiece into the receiving end of the focuser. It is recommended to begin with the lowest power eyepiece. Remember
that the longer the focal length, the lower the power the eyepiece yields. Keep in mind that increasing the power will decrease
the apparent field of view and the brightness and sharpness of your images.
19
3. Barlow lens
The Barlow lens is used to achieve the highest practical power of your telescope. Insert the Barlow lens into the focuser and
then place an eyepiece into the receiving end of your Barlow lens. You will have to refocus the view after this.
Red dot finder assembly
To attach the finder:
1. Remove the red dot finder from the box.
2. Loosen thumbscrews on the side of your finder and slide it into a dovetail mount located at the top of the telescope tube.
3. Tighten thumbscrews.
To align to the telescope:
1. Aim the telescope at an object at least 300 yards away and bring it into focus. This is best done in daylight.
2. Make sure the object is in the center of your view, and tighten all the knobs to prevent any movement.
3. Open the battery compartment underneath the finder and remove the cover from the battery (it is recommended to replace
the battery cover when not using the telescope)
4. Turn the finder on by sliding the On/Off switch forward. The switch is located on the right side of the finder.
5. Look through the finder and locate the red dot.
6. If the object in the finder is not the object you see through the main telescope tube, you have to align it. To move the red
dot up and down, simply turn the elevation screw located in the back of the finder. To move the red dot left and right, turn the
windage screw located at the front left part of the finder.
