4.2.1.
A distant object is centered at the telescope’s
field of view. In this example we have a house with a
chimney. The chimney is the reference point to
place at the center of the field of view. We first look
through the telescope with the lowest magnification
possible (PL25mm should be preferrable), so we
have the widest field of view.
4.2.2.
Looking through the finderscope (it should be
powered on) we see the same building ,but in this
case the red dot and chimney are not centered. We
adjust the finderscope using the two thumbscrews
(figure below) so that the finderscope red point
moves slightly until it matches the chimney. This is
enough to correct the objects position in the
finderscope. Trial and error is required to get a
satisfactory result.
4.2.3.
After playing with the two findercope
thumbscrews and some trial and error, we get the
finderscope red dot close to the center (in this case
the chimney). The finderscope is now ready to use!
