Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion FunScope telescope.
Your new FunScope is easy to use and arrives from the factory
almost fully assembled! Only the finder scope and eyepieces need
to be installed. If you have never owned a telescope before, we
would like to welcome you to amateur astronomy. Take some time
to familiarize yourself with the night sky. Learn to recognize the pat-
terns of stars in the major constellations. With a little practice, a little
patience, and a reasonably dark sky away from city lights, you’ll find
your telescope to be a never-ending source of wonder, exploration,
and relaxation.
These instructions will help you set up and use your FunScope tele-
scope. Please read them thoroughly before getting started. Please
save all original packaging. This will help protect your FunScope if
you wish to transport it or in the unlikely event to need to return it for
repair.
