2. Getting familiar with the
FunScope's features
1. Optical tube - This is the main component of the telescope. It houses the
76mm-diameter primary mirror at the bottom end and a small secondary
mirror at the front end, which deects light out the side of the optical tube
through the focuser (2).
2. Focuser - This is where the eyepiece (5) is inserted, and how sharpness is
adjusted.
3. Focus wheels - The focus wheels are used to bring objects into focus. By
turning them you move the rack-and-pinion focuser (4) in and out until sharp
focus is achieved.
4. Eyepiece securing thumbscrew - Used to keep the eyepiece (5) secure in the
focuser (2).
5. 20mm eyepiece - The eyepiece is the part of the telescope that you look into
to see things. It magnies the image. Its magnifying power is determined by
Figure 1. Items included with the FunScope.
