CENTER THE TARGET
IN THE EYEPIECE
Look through the telescope using your lower
powered eyepiece. Move the telescope until the
object you chose lies in the center of the view. If
the image is blurry, gently turn the focus knobs until
it comes into sharp focus.
LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE
Once the object is centered in your 20mm
eyepiece, look through the finderscope and locate
the crosshair reticle.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the three
finger knobs on the finderscope bracket to move
the finder around in the bracket until the crosshair
appears over the same object you are observing in
the telescope’s 20mm eyepiece.
TIP: Try adjusting one screw at a time. Loosen one screw by
half a turn and tighten another by the same amount to
ensure the finderscope is securely held in place.
YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS
NOW ALIGNED!
It should not require realignment unless it is
bumped or dropped.

The finder is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you
locate objects and center them in the eyepiece. The first time you assemble
your telescope, you need to align the finder to the telescope’s main optics.
It’s best to do this during the day*.
* SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to view the Sun through any telescope
without a proper solar filter!
CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and find
an easily recognizable object, like a streetlight,
license plate or sign. The object should be as far
away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.
