Installing Eyepieces
NOTE: The Firstscope 60 EQ telescopes come equipped for use with either .96’* or 1 Vi" eyepieces. The eyepiece
adapter comes set up for use with a .96" size eyepieces. The inner bushing of the adapter is easily removed so that
1 Vi" eyepieces can be used (see diagrams below). The Firstscope 70 models use only lVi" eyepiece.

is at the center of the top cover. Do not remove the entire outer bushing adapter of the diagonal if installing a
.96" eyepiece, as you’ll need this for proper installation of the eyepiece.
2. Insert the chrome end of the diagonal into the focuser.
3. Lock into place by tightening the set screws on the focuser.
4. Remove caps from the eyepiece (ocular) and place it into the diagonal. Lock it into place with the set screw.

To install a Barlow Lens (for those models including it). First, you can remove the diagonal from the focuser and
insert the Barlow lens directly into the end of the focuser, then put the diagonal in the Barlow-lens and the eyepieces
