USING THE ZOOM EYEPIECE

Rotate the zoom ring on the eyepiece to change magnifying power from low to high. Lower power settings will provide a brighter image with a wider field of view, higher powers allow observing smaller details on more distant subjects. To reduce the need to readjust focus when zooming, set the zoom to its highest power and focus on your subject. When you zoom back down to lower powers, it will stay in focus.

Note: the zoom eyepiece is not removable, do not attempt to take it off of the scope.

USING THE EYECUP AND LENS SHADE

If you are not wearing glasses, twist the rubber eyecup counter-clockwise to extend it. If you experience glare or lens flare due to the angle and direction of the sun relative to the front lens, pull the lens shade out to extend it.

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR SCOPE

AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES

USING THE SCOPE GLOVE (not included with 80mm models)

A scope glove is included with some smaller Legend Ultra HD scopes, to allow convenient handheld viewing at low magnification settings (15-20x range). Pull the wide straps away from their velcro tabs and place the glove on the scope, making sure the tripod mount goes through the opening at the bottom, then put the straps back in place on the velcro tabs. Slip your hand through the side strap and use the buckle to adjust the strap length so it holds the scope tightly against your hand.
