5. Turn the horizontal fine motion knobs until that
vertical line is centered in the field of view.
6. Looking through the view finder, turn the view
finder eyepiece screw until the 2 circles are
focussed.
7. Use the view finder axis alignment screw to
align the 2 circles in the view finder with the
same vertical line described in step 4.
The sighting axis of the view finder is now
aligned with the sighting axis of the telescope
as seen through the eyepiece.
Eliminating parallax
This is the relative displacement of the target image with respect to the reticle when the
observer’s head is moved slightly before the eyepiece.
Parallax will introduce reading errors and must be removed before observations are taken.
Parallax can be removed by refocussing the reticle.
PROCEDURE Using Auto Focus to focus on the staff
