To align your finderscope, slightly loosen the thumbscrews
which on the finderscope bracket. Gently move the
finderscope until the crosshairs are centered on your object.
Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the finderscope in this
position. It may take many tries to get it exactly right, but it
will make finding objects much, much easier when you’re
ready to use your telescope.
ADJUSTMENTS
Your Zenith telescope can be maneuvered along two axes, Right
Ascension and Declination.
The longitudinal axis (left to right) is commonly referred to in
astronomy as Right Ascension. To adjust the right ascension of
your telescope, loosen the thumbscrew where the telescope
attaches to the tripod. Gently swing your telescope left or right
until it faces the object you seek. Tighten the thumbscrew to
hold the telescope in place.
The latitudinal axis (up and down) is commonly referred to in
astronomy as Declination. To adjust the declination of your
telescope, loosen the tripod adjustment arm by twisting it to the
left. Raise or lower the angle of your telescope until it is pointed
at the object you seek. Fasten it securely in place by twisting the
tripod adjustment arm to the right.
For best results, only adjust one axis of your telescope position
at a time.
