5.3. Aligning the Finderscope
Figure 21
. 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, so we
have the widest field of view.
STEP 1
Figure 22.
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 altitude and
azimuth knobs 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.
STEP 2
Figure 23.
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!
