Step 5. Attaching Optics

 

Insert 45º diagonal: Insert diagonal (#6) into the eyepiece side

 

of the telescope. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.

 

Insert the eyepiece: Remove the supplied 25mm eyepiece (#7)

 

from its container and slide it into the open end of the diagonal.

Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.

Remove the round dust cover lid from the end of telescope.

Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may need

 

to turn the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your telescope

 

for the first time. Always start observing using a lower power

Eyepiece (#7)

eyepiece (such as the 25mm eyepiece) to get a wider field of

view. Later on you can change to higher powers. (Eyepieces of

 

higher powers have narrower field of views; it’s more difficult to

 

locate objects using high-power eyepieces.)

Step 6. Connecting Hand Controller

 

Plug hand controller into any one of the HBX (handbox) ports on

 

the mount.

 

Turn on power. Now you are ready to observe. Use the 4 Arrow

 

keys (▲▼◄►) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left, and Right.

 

Use the SPEED key to change the slew speed from the slowest

 

(2X) to the fastest (MAX).
