	(See page 25 to learn how to attach the viewfinder to
	the telescope.)
	31 During the daytime, point the telescope at a distant
	object (at least 200 yards away), such as a telephone
	pole or a street sign. Center the object in the tele-
	scope's eyepiece.
spring loaded knob	Look through the viewfinder and loosen or tighten, as
	appropriate, one or more of the collimation screws until
	the viewfinders crosshairs are precisely centered on the
	object in the OTA. Notice that the left rear knob is
	32 spring-loaded, to make the adjustment of the two other
	rear knobs easier.

Fine tune this alignment on a bright star during the nighttime.

22	Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the
	Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
