THE EYEPIECES
Your telescope comes with two eyepieces, a low power (20 mm eyepiece) and a higher power eyepiece (4 mm
eyepiece). Whenever you set up your telescope, always start with the 20 mm eyepiece. Once you have your target
centered in the 20 mm eyepiece, you can switch to your higher power 4 mm eyepiece to get a more detailed view.
To install an eyepiece:
1. Loosen the setscrews on the open end of the star diagonal.
2. Insert the silver barrel of the 20 mm eyepiece into the star diagonal
(Fig. 5).
3. Tighten the setscrews to secure the eyepiece
4. To see the sharpest image possible, you need to focus by looking
through the eyepiece and slowly turning the focusing knobs until
you fi nd the sharpest image.
THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE
The ExploraScope comes with a StarPointer red-dot fi nderscope that you will use as a sighting tool when aiming the
telescope at a target.
To install your StarPointer fi nderscope:
1. Remove the two silver nuts from the threaded posts at the top of the
tube, near the focuser.
2. Place the two holes in the base of the fi nderscope over the threaded
posts so the fi nderscope base sits fl ush on the telescope tube. Make
sure that the round window on the fi nderscope is pointed toward the
end of the telescope that you will point at your target.
3. Thread the two nuts back onto the threaded posts (Fig. 6)
4. There is a small clear plastic tab inserted between the battery and the
contact. This was included to prevent the battery from discharging
during shipment. Pull this out to allow your battery to work.
