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.

Look though the A62SS with an eyepiece of low magnification. Turn the

eyepiece’s field of view come to focus clearly.
