LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE
Once the object is centered in your lower powered eyepiece, turn
the finderscope's power dial all the way up to illuminate the red dot.
Look through the finderscope and locate the dot.
YOUR FIRST NIGHT OUT - THE MOON
The best and easiest target for you to try to view first is the Moon. Try observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle. Although you can observe the Moon any night it is visible, the best time to view it is from
two days after a New Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able to see the most detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the finderscope's two adjustment
knobs to make slight adjustments to the finderscope's pointing
position until the red dot appears over the same object you are
observing in the telescope's 20mm eyepiece.

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU HAVE NOW OBSERVED YOUR
FIRST CELESTIAL OBJECT!
To get a closer view of the Moon, loosen the thumbscrews on the
focuser and remove the 20mm eyepiece. Replace it with your
10mm eyepiece and tighten the thumbscrews to secure it in place.
The 10mm eyepiece will give you significantly more magnification,
making the Moon appear much larger.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the focus knobs when you change eyepieces
to make sure you are getting the sharpest image possible.

YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS
NOW ALIGNED!
You won't need to realign the finderscope unless it is bumped or
dropped, or you remove it from the main telescope optics.

Turn on the finderscope, look through it, and locate the red dot.
Continue moving the telescope until the red dot appears over
the Moon.

You can view many other celestial objects, such as planets, star
clusters and nebulae using this same technique.
SOLAR WARNING: Never attempt to view the Sun through
any telescope.
