eyepieces. Turn the fine tuning knob for finer adjustments.

If you have trouble focusing, rotate the focus knob counterclockwise as far as it will go. Now look through the eyepiece while slowly rotating the focus knob clockwise. You should soon see the point at which focus is reached.

Try to practice this during daytime by aiming the main telescope tube at a land-based target at least 200 yards away (e.g. A telephone pole or building).

Aligning Finderscope

If you use a finderscope with VersaTM 108, you need to align the finderscope with the main telescope tube.

First, look through Main Telescope Tube and establish a well-defined target (see focusing telescope section). Tighten all lock knobs of your mount (Declination, Latitude, Right Ascension, and Horizontal Axes) so that telescope’s aim is not disturbed. Then look through the finderscope and adjust the each finderscope adjustment screw until the crosshairs of the finderscope are precisely centered on the same object already centered in Main Telescope Tube’s field of view. Now, objects located first with the finderscope will be centered in field of view of the main telescope.
