CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and find an
easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight, car
license plate or sign. The object should be as far away
as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.
11
CENTER THE TARGET IN THE EYEPIECE
Look through the telescope using your lower powered
eyepiece. Move the telescope until the object you
chose lies in the center of the view. If the image is
blurry, gently turn the focus knobs on either side
of the telescope until it comes into sharp focus.
NOTE:
The image in your telescope may appear inverted.
This is perfectly normal in an astronomical telescope.

LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE
Once the object is centered in your 20mm eyepiece,
look through the finderscope and locate the red dot.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope,
use the two adjustment
knobs to move the finder around until the red dot
appears over the same object you are observing in the
telescope’s 20mm eyepiece.

YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS NOW ALIGNED!
It should not require realignment unless it is bumped or
dropped.

ALIGNING THE FINDERSCOPE
The finder is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you locate objects and center them in the
eyepiece. The first time you assemble your telescope, you need to align the finder to the telescope’s main optics. It’s best
to do this during the day*.
*SOLAR WARNING!
Never attempt to view the Sun through any telescope without a proper solar filter!
