Using the Red Dot Finder
The Red Dot Finder is a zero magnication
pointing tool that uses a coated glass window
to superimpose the image of a small red dot
onto the night sky. The Red Dot Finder is
equipped with a variable brightness control,
azimuth adjustment control, and altitude
adjustment control
(

)
. The Red Dot
Finder is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery
located underneath at the front. To use the
Finder, simply look through the sight tube and
move your telescope until the red dot merges
with the object. Make sure to keep both eyes
open when sighting.
