Using the Spotting Scope
The Spotting Scope is a type of telescope that is primarily intended for terrestrial (land)
observation. The Spotting Scope can also be used for casual astronomical observing.
1. Set your Spotting Scope up on the tripod (included). Refer to the instructions on pages
8-9.
2. Remove the small rubber protective cap from the eyepiece and place inside the carry
case. Unclip the large objective lens cover.
3. Use the pan lever to position the Spotting Scope in the desired direction. Refer to the
instructions on page 12 for how to use the pan lever.
4. Start at the lowest magnification (20x) and focus on your subject for sharpness and a
wide field of view using the focus wheel. Turn the focus wheel until the image is sharp
and clear.
5. Once you have located your subject at low magnification, increase the power of the
magnification by turning the zoom ring anticlockwise. If required, adjust the focus
using the focus wheel, until you have a sharp, clear image.
6. If you wish to take an image or video, refer to the instructions on pages 10-11 for how to
attach your smartphone to the Spotting Scope.
NOTE: When you first begin using the Spotting Scope, it may take some time getting use
to the angled eyepiece and using the focus and zoom controls. It may take a few times
of using the Spotting Scope until you master the technique. The more you practice the
easier it will become and will eventually become second nature.
NOTE: To locate your subject using the Spotting Scope, start with the lowest
magnification first for the widest field of view.
NOTE: Don’t forget, while increasing your power range (zoom), you may also need to
adjust the focus wheel, so the subject will remain in focus.
NOTE: The angled eyepiece is more exposed to the elements such as rain and snow
while using the Spotting Scope outdoors.
