Using the Finder-scope
If your telescope includes an Ascension 8x50 finder scope please read this
section to understand how to get the most out of it. The Ascension finder
scope is a high example showing a desirable right way-up image when you
look through it.
Finder-scope Assembly
To adjust the finder-scope you will need to focus the cross-hair as well as
the finder-scope itself.
To focus the crosshair first separate the dioptre-focusing-ring from the
dioptre-locking-ring by holding one firmly and turning the other, loosen them
enough to allow a good adjustment range. Look through the finder-scope
and adjust the dioptre-focusing-ring so that the crosshair looks sharp, finally
tighten the dioptre-locking-ring against the dioptre-focusing-ring.
