Aligning the Finderscope
The finderscope is adjusted using two adjustment screws, located on
the top and on the right (when looking though the finder) of the finder
bracket and a spring loaded pivot screw (located on the left side of the
bracket). This allows you to turn the top adjustment screw to move the
finderscope up and down, and turn the right adjustment screw to move
the finderscope right to left. The spring loaded pivot screw puts constant
pressure on the finder so that the adjustment screws are always making
contact with the finder.
To make the alignment process a little easier, you should perform this
task in the daytime when it is easier to locate objects in the telescope
without the finder. To align the finder:
1. Choose a conspicuous object that is in excess of one mile away. This
will eliminate any possible parallax effect between the telescope and
the finder.
2. Point your telescope at the object you selected and center it in the
main optics of the telescope .
3 . Lock the azimuth and altitude clamps to hold the telescope in place .
4. Check the finder to see where the object is located in the field of view.
5. Adjust the thumb screws on the finder bracket until the cross hairs are
centered on the target .
Remember that the image orientation through the finder is inverted
(i .e ., upside down and reversed from left-to-right) . Because of this, it may
take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the directional change
each screw has on the finder.
Attaching the Hand Control
In order to protect your CPC telescope during shipping, the hand control
unit has been packaged along with the other telescope accessories and
will need to be plugged in to the drive base of your telescope . The hand
control cable has a phone jack style connector that will plug into the
designated jack outlet located on the top of the drive base (see figure
3-10) . Your telescope also comes with a hand control holder that must be
attached to the fork arm . To connect the hand control to the fork arm:
FIGURE 3-9
• Locate the hand control holder and slide it down into the slot located
on the fork arm (see figure 3-9).
• Push the connector into the jack until it clicks into place.
The hand control can now rest in the holder on the fork arm
of the telescope .
Powering the CPC
The CPC can be powered by the supplied 12v car battery adapter or
optional power supply (see Optional Accessories section in the back
of this manual) .
1 . To power the CPC with the car battery adapter, simply plug the round
post into the designated 12v power outlet located on the drive base .
2. Turn on the power to the CPC by flipping the On/Off switch.
