Aligning the Finder Scope

What is a finder scope?

If you try to find a star with a telescope from the very beginning, it is very hard to catch the target astral object due to 

high-powers and narrow field of view of the telescope. The finder has a lower-powers and wider field of view 

compare to the main telescope and it is easier to find the positional relations between the stars. You can see the 

reticle in the center field of the finder and set the target astral object at this cross point.

In order to smoothly introduce the target astral object to the main tube through the finder scope, the finder must be 

collimated (aligned) with the telescope first. Please align the optical axis of the finder scope through the following 

steps before observing. 

Steps to align the finder scope

1) It is better to carry out most of this procedure 

during the daytime.

6) By adjusting (tighten or loosen) the 3 adjustment 

screws on the finder bracket, the direction of the 

finder can be changed. 

For example, by tightening the adjustment screw on the top 

and loosening the two adjustment screws on the bottom, the 

finder can be turned to face upwards (see the above picture for 

reference).

7) When the object seen through the main tube has been 

centered on the crosshair of the finder, slowly tighten the 

adjustment screws equally to fix the finder. 

8) The alignment of the finder scope has been completed. Please 

make sure that the axis of the scope is not out of alignment 

before star observation.

2) Aim the telescope 

at a small object that is 

about several km 

away, such as a 

chimney top or tip of 

an antenna.

3) Center the object in 

the eyepiece.

4) If it is not focused, 

slowly turn the 

focusing knob until 

the object comes into 

focus.

5) After that, look at the object with the finder scope 

this time. If the object has already been centered on 

the crosshair, alignment of the finder is not neces-

sary.
