Aligning the Red-Dot Viewfinder
Aligning the red-dot viewfinder allows you to accurately point at the same location as the telescope. It is
recommended that you perform steps 1 and 2 during the day and step 3 during nighttime.
NOTE:
THE RED-DOT FINDER IS ONLY FOR NIGHTTIME USE
AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED AT OR NEAR THE SUN.
STEP 1:
Point telescope at an easy-to-find target.
NOTE:
DO NOT EVER POINT AT OR NEAR SUN WITHOUT THE
PROPER SOLAR FILTER INSTALLED!
STEP 2:
Look through the 26mm eyepiece and turn the
focuser knob
(fig 1. #11) until the image is sharply focused.
Center the object precisely in the eyepiece’s field of view.
STEP 3:
Turn on the
red-dot viewfinder
by turning the
on/off switch
(fig 1. #15) clockwise.
Step 2.
Step 3.
