Installing the Finderscope
To install the finderscope onto the telescope, you must first
mount the finderscope through the finder bracket and then
attach it to the telescope. Toward the rear of the telescope
tube, near the focusing assembly, there is a small bracket
with a set screw in it. This is where the finderscope bracket
will be mounted. To install the finderscope:
1. Slide the rubber O-ring over the eyepiece end of the
