Using/Aligning the Red Dot Viewfinder:
The viewfinder is powered by a CR-1620 battery that is
included. Before using the viewfinder for the first time,
remember to remove the plastic insulator that is blocking
the battery from connecting.
Note: Please recycle used batteries responsibly.
For The Viewfinder To Be Effective,
It Must Be Aligned
Insert the 26 mm eyepiece into the focuser and power on the
viewfinder by flipping the switch to the “On” position.
10a.
Point the telescope at an easy to identify target like a
tree that is approximately 200 yards away. Center the object
in the eyepiece. Lock the telescope into place by tightening
the panhandle.
Note: Terrestrial objects may appear inverted, sideways
or at an angle depending on how your tube is oriented
due to optical design. This rotation is perfectly normal on
all Newtonian reflectors and will not affect astronomical
viewing.
10b-e.
Without moving the telescope, position the red dot using the two adjustment screws(Part 15) so that it shares
the same view as the one in your eyepiece.
Note: To preserve battery life, don’t forget to turn off the viewfinder after use.
11.
Telescope is ready for viewing.
