OMNI AZ 102 TELESCOPE
ALIGNING THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE
The fi nderscope is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you locate objects and center them in the eyepiece.
The fi rst time you assemble your telescope, you’ll need to align the fi nderscope with the telescope’s main optics. It’s best to do
this during the day* using land-based targets.
* SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to view the Sun through any telescope without a solar filter.
CHOOSE A TARGET
1. Take the telescope outside during
the day and turn on the fi nderscope
using the power knob. Find an easily
recognizable object, such as a
streetlight, car license plate, or sign.
The object should be as far away as
possible but at least a quarter mile
away.
ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
4. Without moving the telescope, use
the fi nderscope’s two adjustment
knobs to move it around until the red
dot appears over the object you are
observing in the eyepiece.
YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS NOW ALIGNED!
5. It should not require realignment
unless it is bumped or dropped. If you
want to test the alignment, point the
red dot at another land-based target.
Then verify the object is in the center
of the eyepiece’s fi eld of view.
LOOK THROUGH THE FINDERSCOPE
3. With the object precisely centered
in the eyepiece, look through the
fi nderscope’s optical window and
locate the red dot.

center of the view. If the image is blurry,
turn the focus knob until it comes into
sharp focus.
