The Omegon® Radiant Finder with base
Congratulations on the purchase of the Omegon® Radiant finder with base. With this finder, finding astronomical objects in
the night sky is quick and easy. Three red circles are projected on the optical window allowing to super-impose these circles
onto the night sky. The brightness adjustment allows locating even the dimmest objects.
1. Knowing your Radiant
1. On/Off and brightness button;
2. Thumbscrew (two units) to fix Radiant to its plastic base;
3. Lid for the battery compartment;
4. Plastic base;
5. Glass window where the reticule is projected;
6. Condenser lens;
7. Alignment thumbscrews.
2. How to fix Radiant to a telescope?
Larger telescopes usually
offer a larger surface for fixing the Radiant’s plastic base (#4).
Ensure your telescope provides a free space of at least 180mm
in length and 100mm in width.
Find a suitable position to place the finder to the telescope’s
tube. The double-sided tape included on the plastic base (#4) is
very strong, and once the plastic base has been fixed to the
tube, it will be very hard to remove it.
Remove the plastic base (#4) from the assembly and peel
carefully the protective plastic from the double-sided tape. Place
it on to the previously-assigned position on the telescope. Please
make sure that the base is as parallel, as much possible, to the
telescope tube (pointing in the same direction).
3. Placing the batteries (not supplied).
Slide the lid for the
battery compartment (#3) to expose the battery compartment.
Remove the battery compartment and place 2xAA batteries (not included). Pay attention to the correct polarity.
If you are right-handed, we recommend placing the base
so that the fixing thumbscrews (#2) are to your right.
