ALIGN THE VIEWFINDER WITH THE OTA:

 

 

 

(See page 25 to learn how to attach the viewfinder to

 

 

 

the telescope.)

 

 

 

31 During the daytime, point the telescope at a distant

 

 

 

object (at least 200 yards away), such as a telephone

 

 

 

pole or a street sign. Center the object in the tele-

 

 

 

scope's eyepiece.

 

 

 

 

 

spring loaded knob

Look through the viewfinder and loosen or tighten, as

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

appropriate, one or more of the collimation screws until

 

 

 

 

 

 

the viewfinders crosshairs are precisely centered on the

 

 

 

object in the OTA. Notice that the left rear knob is

 

 

 

32 spring-loaded, to make the adjustment of the two other

 

 

 

rear knobs easier.

Fine tune this alignment on a bright star during the nighttime.

Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the

 

Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
