Thank you for purchasing the Bushnell Voyager Family Telescope!  Your new telescope has been
designed and crafted with the highest standards so that you may have years of enjoyment and
use out of this wonderful window to the heavens.  This product comes complete with everything
you'll need to explore your universe.  Whether you are just starting out in astronomy or you are
an avid astronomer we wish you, your family, and your friends all the best with this telescope.

Please utilize this manual to its fullest potential by reading it completely before you attempt to
use your new telescope.  Once set-up, we've included a basic guide on how to get started in
astronomy at the end of this manual.  While this is not a complete guide, it will give you some
initial pointers.  As you advance in ability, we would highly recommend a supplemental star
atlas, beginning astronomy guide, moon map, or any other guide as you travel on your journey
through the universe.
