The magnification also depends on the focal width of the telescope tube. This telescope contains a tube
with a focal width of 400 mm.
Examples:
400 mm / 20 mm = 20X magnification
400 mm / 12.5 mm = 32X magnification

Notes on cleaning
• Clean the eyepieces and lenses only with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfibre cloth. To avoid scratching
the lenses, use only gentle pressure with the cleaning cloth.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with an eyeglass-cleaning solution, and wipe
the lenses gently.
• Protect the device from dust and moisture. After use, particularly in high humidity, let the device ac-
climatise for a short period of time, so that the residual moisture can dissipate before storing.

Insert the eyepiece (3) into the smartphone
holder (11) and tighten the screw (X) to the
bracket firmly. Then set the smartphone holder
with the eyepiece into the eyepiece connection
(2) and tighten the clamping screws (Y) by
hand firmly. Now start your smartphone
camera app and press your smartphone on the
plate. Make sure that it is properly secured.
The camera should rest just above the
eyepiece. Place the smartphone exactly over
the eyepiece, so that the image is exactly
centered on your display. It may be necessary
to use the zoom function to fill out the whole
screen of your smartphone. The suction cups
