APPENDIX A
The
Omegon® Red-dot
finderscope (included only in the
complete set)
1. Knowing your finderscope.
1- Red-dot case;
2- Potentiometer ON/OFF switch;
3- Optical window;
4- Azimuth adjustment knob;
5- Battery compartment (1x battery CR2032);
6- Base fixing screws;
7- Finderscope bracket;
8- Altitude adjustment knob.
2. Getting Started.
The finderscope is powered by a coin shaped
battery CR2032 (supplied). For battery protection a plastic protection is placed between the battery
and the battery contact. Remove the plastic protection by securing the finderscope with one hand
and then pulling firmly on the outstanding plastic tip (figure 2). The plastic protection should be
completely removed and discarded. Turn power on by rotating the potentiometer to its ON position
as shown in figure 3 (you will hear a click when ON), rotate all the way to get maximum power.
When powered, the red-dot point on the red-dot case (#1 – figure1) lights up (figure 4 and figure 5).
A small red point is projected to the optical window (#3 – figure 1). This red point, when aligned with
the telescope, allows precise pointing to objects. To precisely align the finderscope with the
telescope both the altitude and azimuth (#8 and #4 figure 1) adjustment knobs need to be adjusted
(figure 6 and figure 7) – please see detailed instructions on how to align in page 3. To power off the
finderscope just turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise until you hear a click – red-dot dims until
off (figure 8). Place the finderscope’s bracket in the telescope’s finderbase. Use a low power
eyepiece to align the finderscope.
