ALIGNING THE STARPOINTER PRO FINDERSCOPE
The finderscope 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'll need to align the finderscope with the telescope's main optics. It's best to do this during
the day* using land-based targets.
* SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to view the Sun through this finderscope or any telescope without a solar filter.
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the StarPointer Pro finderscope when not in use to conserve battery power.
New batteries can be purchased online or at watch/electronic stores.

YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS NOW ALIGNED!
5. It should not require realignment unless
it is bumped or dropped. If you want
to test the alignment, point the reticle
at another land-based target. Then
verify the object is in the center of the
eyepiece's field of view.
