If your camera is in video mode, you can press the button once to start recording and again to stop the recording.

ALIGNING THE FINDERSCOPE

The finder is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you locate objects and center them in the eyepiece. The first time you assemble your telescope, you need to align the finder to the telescope's main optics. It's best to do this during the day*.

* SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to view the Sun through any telescope without a proper solar filter!

CHOOSE A TARGET

Take the telescope outside during the day and find an easily recognizable object, like a streetlight, license plate or sign. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.

2 Low Power Eyepiece Focus Knobs

CENTER THE TARGET IN THE EYEPIECE

Look through the telescope using your lower powered eyepiece. Move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the center of the view. If the image is blurry, gently turn the focus knobs until it comes into sharp focus.

LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE

Once the object is centered in your 20mm eyepiece, look through the finderscope and locate the crosshair reticle.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE

Without moving the telescope, use the three finger knobs on the finderscope bracket to move the finder around in the bracket until the crosshair appears over the same object you are observing in the telescope's 20mm eyepiece.

YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS NOWALIGNED!

It should not require realignment unless it is bumped or dropped.

TIP: Try adjusting one screw at a time. Loosen one screw by half a turn and tighten another by the same amount to ensure the finderscope is securely held in place.

The best and easiest target for you to try to view first is the Moon. Try observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle. The best time to view the Moon is from two days after a New Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able to see the most detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges.

Look through the finderscope and locate the crosshair reticle. Continue moving the telescope until the crosshair appears over the Moon.

4 Low Power Eyepiece Focus Knobs

Look through the telescope's 20mm eyepiece. Gently turn the focus knobs to adjust the sharpness of the image.

CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU HAVE NOW OBSERVED YOUR FIRST CELESTIAL OBJECT!

To get a closer view of the Moon, loosen the set screws on the focuser and remove the 20mm eyepiece. Replace it with your 10mm eyepiece and tighten the set screws to secure it in place. The 10mm eyepiece will give you significantly more magnification, making the Moon appear much larger.

NOTE: You may need to adjust the focus knobs when you change eyepieces, to make sure you are getting the sharpest image possible.

You can view many other celestial objects, such as planets, star clusters and nebulae using this same technique if you know where to find them in the night sky.
