Attaching the Finder Scope:
There are two finder scope bracket mounting screws (6)
already located at the end of the optical tube near the eyepiece
assembly. Remove the screws and set aside. Place the finder
scope bracket (5) onto the mounting bolts, replace the nuts and
tighten down securely to the optical tube. Make sure the bracket
is facing forward as shown in the telescope schematic. Slide the
finder scope (4) into the bracket facing forward.
Attaching the Eyepieces:
Insert the 45° corner lens (16) into the focuser draw tube (7) and
secure into place by tightening the corner lens thumbscrew.
Insert the Kellner 25mm eyepiece (8) into the corner lens and
tighten down using the eyepiece holder thumb screw.
You have now completed the assembly of your SkyRunner
TM
telescope. We will now need to make the necessary adjustments
in order to use your telescope properly.
Aligning the Finder Scope:
The low power and wide field of view provided by the 8x21mm
finder scope (4) provides a quick and easy way to sight an object
prior to looking through the high-power telescope. The finder
scope must first be properly aligned with the telescope in order
to work properly. This alignment is best performed during the
daylight. Follow the steps below to align your finder scope
properly:
• Place the Kellner 25 mm eyepiece (8) into the corner lens
(16) of the telescope.
• Loosen the altitude lock knob (17) so that the telescope
swings freely along both axes.
• Point the main telescope and tripod at a specific land object
200 yards or more away. Tighten down the altitude lock
knob (17). Turn the altitude and horizontal adjustment
knobs until the object is centered in the telescope field.
• Now look through the finder scope (4) and loosen or tighten
the finder scope adjustment screws (2) until the crosshairs
are centered on the same object.
