10 I ENGLISH
The StarPointer is the quickest and easiest way to point your telescope exactly at a desired object in the sky. It’s
like having a laser pointer that you can shine directly onto the night sky. The StarPointer is a zero magnification
pointing tool that uses a coated glass window to superimpose the image of a small red dot onto the night sky.
While keeping both eyes open when looking through the StarPointer, simply move your telescope until the red dot,
seen through the StarPointer, merges with the object as seen with your unaided eye. The red dot is produced by a
light-emitting diode (LED); it is not a laser beam and will not damage the glass window or your eye. The StarPointer
comes equipped with a variable brightness control and two axes alignment control. Before the StarPointer is ready
for use, it must be attached to the telescope tube and properly aligned.
THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE
1. Loosen the two mounting screws near the bottom of the
finderscope.
2. Slide the base of the finderscope over the finderscope
mounting bracket found on the telescope optical tube.
3. Tighten the screws to secure the finderscope in place.
Your StarPointer finderscope is shipped with a clear plastic
tab inserted between the battery and the contact to prevent
the battery from accidentally being discharged in shipment.
Pull this tab out before using your finderscope.
