6. Sighting
“Sighting” refers to the aiming of the
telescope at the target, bringing the
target image into focus, and aligning it
with the center crosshairs of the reticle.
WARNING
■
Never look at the sun through the telescope. Doing so may
cause the loss of your eyesight.
Notes on sighting are as follows:
•
Diopter Adjustment
Direct the telescope towards a blank area, such as the sky or a piece of
paper. Looking through the eyepiece, rotate the diopter ring to bring the
reticle crosshairs into sharp focus.
•
Elimination of Parallax
Rotate the focusing ring to bring the target image into focus on the reticle
crosshairs. Move your eye vertically and laterally to see if the target
image moves in relation to the reticle crosshairs. If the target image does
not move, there is no parallax. If it moves, rotate the telescope focusing
ring to eliminate the parallax.
