power and has a 30mm objective lens. Incidentally, power is always compared to
the unaided human eye. So an 8 power finder magnifies images eight times more
than the human eye.
To make the alignment process a little easier, you should perform this task in the
daytime when it is easier to locate objects in the spotting scope without the
finder. To align the finder:
1. Choose a conspicuous object that is in excess of one mile away. This will
eliminate any possible parallax effect.
2. Point your spotting scope at the object you selected and center it in the
main optics of the spotting scope.
3. Check the finder to see where your alignment target is located in the
field of view.
4. Adjust the screws on the finder bracket, tightening one while loosening
another, until the cross hairs are centered on the target.
5. Tighten each set screw a quarter of a turn to ensure that they will not come
loose easily.
With the spotting scope fully assembled and all the accessories attached, you are
ready for your first look. Observing can be broken down into two distinct
categories; terrestrial and celestial. Terrestrial observing is generally done in the
daytime as subjects are usually wildlife, birds, or scenic views. Celestial
observing is generally done at night when stars and planets are visible.
Regardless of your preference, your first look should be done in the daytime so
you can see the various parts of your C5 and better familiarize yourself with its
operation.
Before you can use your C5 to look at anything it must first be attached to a
stable mount. For spotting scope owners, this would be a heavy-duty
photographic tripod.
WARNING ! NEVER POINT YOUR SPOTTING SCOPE AT THE SUN
UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROPER CELESTRON SOLAR FILTER.
PERMANENT AND IRREVERSIBLE EYE DAMAGE MAY RESULT AS
WELL AS DAMAGE TO YOUR SPOTTING SCOPE. ALSO, NEVER
LEAVE YOUR SPOTTING SCOPE UNATTENDED DURING A
DAYTIME OBSERVING SESSION, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN
ARE PRESENT.
