SETTING UP THE TELESCOPE

(Finder scope may be optional at your particular model.)

Loosen the finder scope bracket lock screw on the finder

bracket shoe of the optical tube.

Attach the finder scope (or XY Red dot finder) as shown in the

figure. Tighten the finder bracket lock screw securely.

Attaching the Finder Scope

• Loosen both the dovetail plate lock screw and safety screw

until the tips of these screws no longer extended into the

inner part of the dovetail block.

• Slide the dovetail attachment bar on the optical tube into the

dovetail mounting block as shown in the figure.

• Tighten the dovetail lock screw onto the dovetail tube plate

until snug (centered on the notch).

• First tighten the dovetail lock screw, and then tighten the

small chrome safety screw.

Note: Refer to your mount instructions as to balancing the

optical tube.

Attaching the Optical Tube to the Mount

For the novice telescope user it is difficult to locate a selected

object in the telescope’s field of view at high magnification.

Using a finder scope will make this easier.

VISUAL OBSERVING

• The telescope requires eyepieces to view images.

• The eyepiece determines magnification of your telescope.

• The telescope does not come with the eyepiece as standard

accessory unless you purchase a package.

Eyepiece

A62SS Visual Observing Configuration

Dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of

the eyepiece gives the magnification.

Note: Begin with an eyepiece with long focal length (large

number in millimeters). When using an eyepiece with short

focal length, the image becomes dimmer and the range of field

of view becomes narrower. Also the range of sharp focus

becomes smaller.
