Focusing Telescope, Aligning Finderscope

Focusing Telescope:

1.After selecting the desired eyepiece, aim Main Telescope Tube (20) at a land-based target at least 200 yards away (e.g. A telephone pole or building). Fully extend focusing tube by turning Rack and Pinion

Focusing Mechanism (12).

2.While looking through selected eyepiece (in this case the 20 mm), slowly retract focusing tube by turning

Rack and Pinion Focusing Mechanism (12) until object comes into focus.

Aligning Finderscope:

1.Look through Main Telescope Tube (20) and establish a well-defined target. (see focusing telescope

section) Tighten the Altitude Lock Knob (19) and Azimuth Lock Screw (4) so that telescope’s aim is not disturbed.

2.Looking through Finderscope (17), alternate tightening each Finderscope Adjustment Screw (18) until crosshairs of finderscope are precisely centered on the same object already centered in main telescope tube's field of view.

3.Now, objects located first with the Finderscope (17) will be centered in the field of view of the Main

Telescope.
