THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE
Your telescope comes with a StarPointer red-dot finderscope
that you will use as a sighting tool when aiming the
telescope at a target.
To install the finderscope:
1. Loosen the two Philips–head screws on the side of
the finderscope and slide the clamp over the dovetail
bracket near the telescope focuser. The large window
on the finder should be facing the front of the telescope.
2. Secure the finderscope in place by tightening the two
Philips-head screws. Do not over tighten these screws.
Just make the connection snug.
3. Remove the small plastic tab under the battery cover.
This is installed to prevent the battery from accidentally
discharging during transportation.

THE EYEPIECE
Your telescope comes with two eyepieces. The 20 mm which will give low magnification with a moderately wide field of
view. The 10 mm will give you higher magnification, but a narrower field of view. Additional eyepieces can be purchased
to increase or decrease the magnification to your desired level. When first locating an object, it is best to use the 20 mm
eyepiece, then, once the object is centered, change to the 10 mm eyepiece to “zoom in” on it.
