PREPARATION
2-6 Sighting
“Sighting” refers to the aiming of the telescope at
the target, bringing the target image into focus,
and aligning it with the center crosshairs of the
reticle.
WARNING
Never view the sun through the telescope. Doing so may cause
the loss of your eyesight.
Notes on sighting are as follows:
y Diopter Adjustment
Direct the telescope towards a blank area,
such as the sky or a piece of paper.
Looking through the eyepiece, rotate the
diopter ring to bring the reticle crosshairs
into sharp focus.
y Elimination of Parallax
Rotate the focusing ring to bring the target
image into focus on the reticle crosshairs.
Move your eye vertically and laterally to
see if the target image moves in relation to
the reticle crosshairs. If the target image
does not move, there is no parallax. If it
moves, rotate the telescope focusing ring to
eliminate the parallax.
