Aligning the Finderscope
To align the finderscope:
1.Choose a target in excess of one mile away. This will eliminate any possible parallax effect.
2.Point the spotting scope at your target and center it in the eyepiece of the spotting scope.
3.Adjust the screws on the finder bracket until the cross hairs in the finder are centered on the target.
4.Tighten each screw a quarter turn so the finder does not come loose.
Using Your Wide View Spotting Scope Visually
With the standard accessories attached, you are ready for your first look.
1.Point the front end of the spotting scope at a distant object.
2.Locate the object in the finderscope.
3.Look through the spotting scope and turn the focus knobs until objects come to a sharp focus.
4.Center your target using the slow motion controls of the tripod.
Repeat this process for each object you observe.
