Parts listing

Please check while unpacking, if all parts are complete:
1 Objective lens
2 Tripod with accessory tray
3 Telescope mounting arm with clamp and panhandle  

controller

4 Telescope tube with dew shield
5 Red Dot Finderscope
6 2(0.965”) Eyepieces 20 mm/12.5mm

7 Focus Wheel
8 Diagonal mirror

Setting up

It is recommended to do the fi rst set-up during the 

daytime to familiarize yourself with steps and 

components of setting up your telescope. Now you may 

easily set up the telescope even in low light.

1. Spread the tripod (2) legs until the tripod spreaders 

are level. Afterwards, put the accessory tray in place 

and thread tray until snug. Now you can set the tripod 

height by adjusting the single legs with their locking 

clamps.

2. Thread the panhandle onto the tripod head.

3. Set the telescope tube on the mount head using the 

alignment tab in the bottom of the telescope. Thread 

front tension screw until snug 

(DO NOT OVER 

TIGHTEN!) 

Finally tighten the bottom tension screw 

until fi rm. 

(DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!)

4. At last, put the Red Dot Finderscope 

(5) from back in its holder and 

insert the 20mm eyepiece into the 

draw tube

Aligning the Red Dot Finderscope

Your telescope is designed for terrestrial and 

astronomical observations. Please keep in mind that 

heat turbulences in the air are also magnifi ed. In warm 

conditions, it can be useful to limit observations to 

medium magnifi cations.

First, remove the dust cover from the objective lens.

Please make sure to remove plastic 
insulator from battery Fig 6.

Insert the 20 mm eyepiece into the diagonal, you 

may now adjust the focus with the draw tube’s 

wheel. The Red Dot Finderscope is activated by 

sliding the switch on its right side; there are two 

intensities available. Before the fi rst observation, 

the Red Dot Finderscope has to be aligned to the 

telescope. For this, point at a striking target (e.g. 

telephone pole) with the telescope’s eyepiece. Now, 

without moving the telescope, switch on the Red 

Dot Finderscope and adjust the red dot with the 2 

adjustment screws (left and right - up and down) 

until it fi ts to the eyepiece’s view. Now the Red Dot 

Finderscope is aligned and ready to point for the 

telescope.

Hint:

Don’t forget to switch off the Red Dot Finderscope 

after use!

Cleaning / Maintenance

Your telescope should, like every optical instrument, 

be treated with care and stored dry. Doing so will 

maintain its optical performance for many years. 

After using, the dust cover should be closed after 

dew has dried off. The lenses can be cleaned with a 

soft cloth available from photo stores. Don’t ever 

use sharp detergents like gasoline or thinner to 

clean the optics!

The Red Dot Finderscope is powered by a battery 

type CR-2032 (3V); if a replacement is necessary, it 

is drawn out by spreading the holding spring down. 

Please keep in mind that a new battery has to be 

placed with the positive (+) side downwards!

Possible objects for observation:

We have compiled and explained a number of very 

interesting celestial bodies and star clusters for you 

but we suggest that you start practicing during the 

day focusing on terrestrial objects such as Birds 

and or Trees at varying distances from you. On the 

accompanying images at the end of the instruction 

manual, you can see how objects will appear in 

good viewing conditions through your telescope at 

varying powers.

Warning:

Never use a telescope to look at the sun! Looking 

at or near the sun will cause instant and 

irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is 

often painless, so there is no warning to the 

observer that damage has occurred until it is too 

late. Do not point the telescope or its viewfi nder at 

or near the sun. Do not look through the telescope 

or its viewfi nder as it is moving. Children should 

always have adult supervision while observing.
