6) Close the ring, secure by tightening the small knob.
Attach the smartphone to and remove it from the telescope:
7) Slide the smartphone adapter to the
telescope clip.
8) Press the quick release lever and slide the
smartphone adaptor out.
USING STAR WALK
TM
2
A stargazing smartphone software application (e.g. Star Walk ™ 2 for iOS and Android) helps you find and
identify the celestial objects easily.
Select “Take a Tour” (Menu
Take a tour
) to familiarize yourself with the various app features.
The App language will follow your smartphone’s language setting.
Features Highlight:
IDENTIFY THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS
After the smartphone adapter is attached to the telescope,
the smartphone orientation is aligned with the telescope.
Utilizing the smartphone’s location, orientation and time
information, a star map application can show the real
time simulated sky view on the screen matching the view
through the telescope. Names of the stars or celestial
objects are shown on screen. The information of the
screen is automatically updated when users adjust the
telescope or move the telescope to a different location.
SEARCH AND DIRECT
Another advantage of using the application software is
that users can search for a celestial object. The screen
will guide users which direction to move the telescope.
INFORMATION OF THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS
Users can select the objects on the screen to read
detailed information like their internal structures, orbits
and compositions.

TIME MACHINE
Besides the real-time star map, users can extend the
control of star viewing into the past and future. Users can
see how specific celestial events unfold through the
change of time.
HOW MUCH POWER: CHOOSING THE EYE LENS
Power refers to the ability of a telescope to enlarge an image, or, in effect, bring it closer to the viewer.
Amount of magnifying power is signified by a number followed by an X (read "power"). So if you view
an object at 25X, you are seeing it as if you are 25 times closer to that object.
Power is calculated by dividing the focal length of your telescope's objective lens (probably indicated on the
focus tube) by the focal length of the eye lens you select. The focal length of the eye lens is usually
indicated on the eyepiece itself (e.g., 4mm, 10mm, 20mm etc.)
Example:
500mm (focal length of objectives lens)
= 25X (power)
20mm (focal length of eyepiece)
The longer the focal length of the eyepiece, the less the magnifying power of the telescope; the shorter the
focal length, the greater the power. So when you select an eye lens to insert into the diagonal prism, you're
really choosing what magnifying power you wish to use for observation.
CARE OF YOUR TELESCOPE
Your telescope should be kept away from dust and moisture. If the lenses get dirty, blow any dust
particles off before cleaning. Clean the lenses with a moistened lens tissue. Always store your
telescope in the box when not in use.
