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 20 mm eyepiece, look
through the finderscope and locate the red dot.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the two
adjustment knobs to move the finder around until the red
dot appears over the same object you are observing in the
telescope’s 20 mm eyepiece.
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.
