2.2.2. Setting the findescope to the optical tube. To set the finderscope to the optical tube start by
removing the two thumbnuts from the respective screws and face the finderscope as shown. The
finderscope is used to aim the telescope to a target (like in a riffle) - figure 11 and figure 12.
Align the finderscope before using the telescope -
please look for instructions in Annex A.
2.2.3. Setting the prism and eyepiece to the focuser.
Simply slide the prism’s (f) metal barrel to the
focuser’s tube and fix using the two focuser’s
thumbscrews. Turn the screws so that the prism and
eyepiece do not fall or slide when observing. Choose
the K20mm eyepiece (e) and fix it to the prism too –
figure 13.
Your telescope should look like in figure 14.
3. First steps.
3.1. Learning to focus. Make sure to get used to use
the telescope during daytime. This is a great
telescope for terrestrial viewing too. Remove the
dust cap from the telescope’s objective. Point to an
object – at least half a mile (800 metres) away, it can
be a tree or a building. Make sure never to point to
the Sun (or its vicinity without using a full aperture
Sun filter).
Now rack the focuser all the way in. Use the Knob
(focuser) (9) and slowly start racking-out the
drawtube (5). This will expose the chromed draw-
tube (5). Look through the eyepiece when doing this.
A sharp image will start to form. The point where
the image is very sharp is the focus. Use first the
Figure 11.
