tray have been fully extended.
Setting Up the Tripod / Mount
Attaching the Optical Tube
1. Remove the optical tube lock screw
as shown in the diagram.
Note: the nut on the opposite
side will fall off when the screw
is removed. Be careful not to
lose this piece.
2. Attach the optical tube as shown
in Fig. 3. Match the holes on the
optical tube and the mount. Insert
the optical tube lock screw.
3. Tighten the optical tube lock screw.
Attach the finder scope as shown
in Fig. 5. Put the finder bracket in
the groove on the optical tube.
To adjust the finder scope, refer to
the section "Adjusting the Finder
Scope" in this manual.

2x Barlow lens
An eyepiece is required in order to view through the Nature Eye.
The H10mm eyepiece in included with your Nature Eye Telescope.
The diagram below shows the focal length of the eyepiece.
Magnification (power) is determined by dividing the focal length of the
telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece.
The Finder Scope aids in aligning the telescope on the target object.
①
!
Attach the eyepiece to the telescope's drawtube and point the telescope
ā!
at a target object (ex. A chimney, an antenna or an electric pole at least
ā!
219 yds (200m) away) in the distance. Center the target object in the field
ā!
of view of the eyepiece and focus it by turning the focus knob slowly.
②
!
Look through the finder scope and center the same target object on
ā!
the crosshairs in the finder's field of view with the three adjustment
ā!
screws.
You will double the magnification when using the 2x Barlow Lens with
the eyepiece.

1. Center the target object in the
field of view.
2. Adjust so that the target object comes to the
center of the crosshairs by loosening or
tightening the setscrews.
3. No adjustment is necessary unless the finder
scope is removed. However, it should be done
as needed.
* The angle of the Finder Scope can
be adjusted.
Compass
Use the compass to determine the
direction of your target object.
Vertical and Horizontal Motion Clamps
Keep your target object in view by
tracking. Loosen the vertical and

Revolving Eyepiece Focuser
Rotate the revolving eyepiece focuser
for more comfortable observation.
Focusing
To focus the optical tube, rotate the
Focus Knob, as shown in the diagram.
Begin with the H10mm eyepiece.
As magnification increases, the point
of focus is shorter, making it more
difficult to attain correct focus.
Astronomical and Land observation
are influenced by climate, wind, and
lights. Observing while indoors may
cause you to see double or dim
images. Nature Eye is best used in
the outdoors.
