WARNINGS
• Do not use telescope or finderscope to look at the sun without an appropriate solar filter (sold
separately). Doing so will cause permanent and irreversible eye damage.
• Never use an eyepiece filter as a solar filter. Only full aperture solar filters will completely cover
the opening of the optical tube and provide proper eye protection.
• Make sure no screws are loose before using telescope.
• Do not drop or shake your telescope as doing so may damage the optics, or harm you or the
people around you.

THE ASTROSCAN
®
MILLENNIUM
The ASTROSCAN
®
is a Dobsonian telescope
featuring a wide field of view that produces bright
images that will astound – making it the perfect
telescope for the serious beginner at any and
every age. Plus, we’re backing it with a limited
2-year warranty (see back page for details).
EASY-TO-USE
Your ASTROSCAN
®
Millennium is already
preassembled in the box. All you have to do
is install the red dot finder and the eyepiece
tray and you’re ready to start observing.
The tube itself can be easily repositioned,
allowing the eyepiece to be centered at the
most comfortable viewing angle for you.
PORTABLE
The sturdy design of the ASTROSCAN
®
lends
itself to ease of transportation. The carrying
handle is well positioned so you can move
the telescope single handedly. The three
rubber feet provide balanced support
and are skid-free, allowing you to place
the telescope on any smooth, level surface.
POWERFUL
You’ll immediately be able to take in breath-
taking views of our Moon and the night sky.
Using the correct eyepiece, with time and
patience, you’ll soon marvel at the majesty
of several planets and many of their moons.
Locating some deep sky objects, like the Orion
Nebula, is also possible.
