ALIGNING THE FINDERSCOPE

In order to use your finderscope, you need to ensure it is pointing in the same direction as your main telescope . It is
recommended that you do this during the day . To do this:
1 Take the scope outside, remove the lens cap, and locate a distant daytime object such as a signpost, light pole, radio
antenna, etc . We recommend an object at least a quarter of a mile away but if this is not possible, use an object as far
away as you can .
2 Center this object in the main telescope using a low power (20 mm) eyepiece in the main telescope .
3 Look through the eyepiece of the finderscope and take notice of the position of the same object .
4 Without moving the main telescope, turn the adjustment thumbscrews located around the finderscope bracket until the
crosshairs of the finderscope are centered on the object chosen with the main telescope .
Your telescope and finderscope are now aligned . To aim the main telescope, grab the mount's pan handle and loosen the
altitude lock . Look through your finderscope until the crosshairs are on the target you want to view and lock the altitude
lock to hold the scope in place . Now look through your low power eyepiece in the main telescope and the target should be
visible . To zoom in on the target, change to your higher power eyepiece and refocus the telescope using the focus knobs .
Note: Objects viewed through a finderscope are upside down and backwards, which is normal .

FOCUSING

To focus your TravelScope turn the focus knob located near the rear of the telescope while looking through the telescope's
eyepiece . If you wear glasses, you may want to remove them when observing with an eyepiece attached to the telescope .
However, if you have astigmatism, corrective lenses should be worn at all times . You will need to refocus the telescope each
time you change eyepieces or view targets at different distances from you .
