Please look for a suitable location to set up your telescope before you begin. Use a stable surface like a table
or countertop.
Pointing your telescope
An Azimuthal mounting means that you can move your telescope up and down, left and right.
With the height adjustment wheel (7) and the turnable azimuth mount, you can point the telescope at any ob-
ject you want. Use the wheel (7) to tilt the telescope up and down. By using the azimuth mount like a turntable
you can pan the telescope to the left and to the right.
Fine adjustment is done with the aid of the LED Viewnder (8). Look through the viewnder and try to align it
with the North Star in the centre of the crosshairs (No. 1).
Which eyepiece is right?
It is important that you always choose an eyepiece with the highest focal width for the beginning of your
observation. Afterwards, you can gradually move to eyepieces with smaller focal widths. The focal width is
indicated in millimeters, and it is written on each eyepiece. In general, the larger the focal width of an eyepiece,
the smaller the magnication.
