FINDER SCOPES
We recommend doing that first alignment in the daytime using a land-based target. Be
careful to do this in an area where you will not accidentally point either your telescope or
finder scope at or near the Sun, (see Sun Warning in this manual).
After you have set up your telescope and attached the finder scope, find an easy,
stationary target that is at least 200 meters away. We suggest using a streetlight or the
top of a telephone pole.
Insert your lowest power eyepiece into your telescope’s eyepiece holder and center the
chosen target in the telescope’s eyepiece. Look through the finder scope’s eyepiece and
loosen or tighten one or more of the adjusting screws that are located on the finder scope
rings until the crosshairs are precisely centered on the same target as the telescope.
Once you have reached the most accurate position, repeat the process with a medium
and a high power eyepiece in your telescope if possible. Once night falls, center the
Moon or a bright star in your finder scope then check the view in your scope. Make small
adjustments as needed.
USING YOUR ILLUMINATOR
(Please note: This section does not apply to our Non-Illuminated Straight Finder Scope.)
To turn your illuminator on, simply turn the top dial past the click stop. If you continue
to turn it clockwise, the illuminator will get brighter, but we recommend that you use it
at the dimmest setting that will still allow you to comfortably see the red-illuminated
crosshairs or polar reference markings (depending on which model you are using)..
CHANGING BATTERIES ON YOUR ILLUMINATOR
The batteries that power your finder scope’s illuminator should last for several hours
of continuous illumination, but we do recommend turning the illuminator off when not in
use to preserve battery life.
To change the batteries on your illuminator, unthread the illuminator from the finder
scope by grasping the entire unit and twisting it counterclockwise until it is free. Separate
the two halves of the illuminator by holding the two ends and twisting counterclockwise.
When the two halves are free of each other, carefully separate them so that the batteries
and the sleeve that holds them do not pop out uncontrollably.
Replace the old batteries with two new LR41 batteries and reinstall the sleeve, making
sure that the negative ends of the batteries are facing the LED illuminator.
Twist the halves back together and switch the illuminator on to make sure the batteries
are working. If the illuminator works, rethread it onto the finder scope. If not, check that
the polarity position is correct and that the batteries are new and fully charged. If the
illuminator still does not come on, clean the battery terminals with a pencil eraser and
try again. If the illuminator still does not respond, please contact our Customer Service
