Red Dot Finderscope Accessory Tray 2. 5x Barlow Hardware Packet--(3) Tripod Bolts with Wing Nuts, (3) Short Accessory Tray Bolts with Wing Nuts, (3) Tripod Leg Lock Screws Fig. Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front of you before assembly. [. . . ] Included with this telescope is a Barlow lens. Barlow lenses are used to double or triple the power of your telescope. Place your Barlow between the focusing tube and the penta mirror. Note: The Penta Mirror Assembly when used in conjunction with the Barlow Lens and Eyepiece as shown in the Intended Configuration Diagram will yield an effective doubling power of the magnification already acheived with the Barlow and Eyepiece configuration alone. The magnification calculation would look like this: 750 mm ÷ 20mm = 38 power. After selecting the desired eyepiece, aim main telescope tube at a land-based target at least 200 yards away (e. g. Fully extend focusing tube by turning Rack and Pinion Focusing Mechanism (13). 2. While looking through selected eyepiece (in this case the 20 mm), slowly retract focusing tube by turning Rack and Pinion Focusing Mechanism until object comes into focus. Aligning Finderscope: Look through main telescope tube at low power and establish a well-defined stationary target. Looking through red dot finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same object being viewed in main telescope tube. Now, objects located first with the Finderscope (16) will be centered in the field of view of the main telescope. Never Look Directly At The Sun With Your Telescope Permanent Damage To Your Eyes May Occur Please find below an image depicting how to attach the red dot finderscope and an image depicting a fully-attached unit. How-To-Attach: Place Finderscope Cylindrical Groove over Cylindrical Finderscope Mount Post until it clicks into place. Plastic Insert Adjustment Wheels Aligning and Using Red Dot Finderscope Remove plastic insert on bottom side of finderscope to allow battery to make connection with battery contact for power. Look through main telescope tube at low power and establish a well-defined stationary target. Looking through red dot finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same object being viewed in main telescope tube. Enjoying Your New Telescope 1. Any bright object in the night sky is a good starting point. One of the favorites in astronomy is the moon. This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. The first thing you need to do after assembling the telescope as planned is center the desired object in the finderscope's cross hairs. Provided you did a reasonable job aligning the finderscope, a quick look through the main telescope tube at low power should reveal the same image. With the lowest power eyepiece (the one with the largest number printed on it) you should be able to focus the same image that you saw through the finderscope. Avoid the temptation to move directly to the highest power. The low power eyepiece will give you a wider field of view, and brighter image--thus making it very easy to find your target object. At this point with a focused image in both scopes, you've passed the first obstacle. [. . . ] Nebulae--The Great Orion Nebula is a very well known night sky object. This and many others are brought to you by this telescope. Star Clusters--View millions of stars densely packed in a cluster that resembles a ball. Galaxies--One of the greatest and most interesting galaxies is our neighbor the Andromeda Galaxy. [. . . ]
