zoomion Apollo 80 - Aligning the Finder Scope; Important Safety Warnings

8
The finder scope’s pointing direction can be adjusted. This is important because the finder scope
should always point in the same direction as the telescope – this is called aligning. Alignment can be
done using the two adjustment screws (6 and 8 – figure 22). The altitude adjustment thumbscrew,
when rotated clock wise, moves the led screen down around the pivot screw as shown in figure 27.
The other adjustment (the azimuth thumbscrew) allows to adjust side wards the finder scope.
Combine both thumbscrew movements to centre and overlap the led’s red point with the object as
shown in the following page.
Do not look at the Sun with the telescope! Children should
be supervised when using a telescope during day time!
