Includes everything you need to get started
- Two interchangeable Plössl eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens
- Smart device adapter
- Diagonal
- Red Dot Viewfinder
Using/Aligning the Red Dot Viewfinder:
Insert the 26 mm eyepiece into the diagonal and power on the viewfinder by sliding the switch on its right side to an “On” position. • Point the eyepiece at an easy to identify target like a telephone pole that is approximately 200 yards away. Center the object in the eyepiece. Lock the telescope into place by tightening the panhandle. • Without moving the telescope, position the red dot using the two adjustment screws so that it shares the same view as the one in your eyepiece. The front screw will move the viewfinder up and down, and the other will move it side to side. Your viewfinder is now aligned. Note: To preserve battery life, don’t forget to turn off the viewfinder after use.
Using your telescope:
After you have aligned your viewfinder, you are ready to start observing! Put the 26 mm eyepiece into the diagonal to get the widest field of view. This wider field of view will make it easier to locate and track objects. Use the panhandle to move the scope up, down and side to side until your target comes into view in the eyepiece. It is important to remember that the rotation of the Earth means objects will move out of your eyepiece fairly quickly. Once you have found and focused on your desired target, you can track it as it journeys across the night sky using the panhandle. For a closer look at an object, you can insert the 9.7 mm eyepiece. The magnification will increase from 26.9x to 72x. For a more closer look at an object, you can insert the 2x Barlow lens. The magnification will increase to 52x for the 26 mm eyepiece and 144x for the 9.7 mm eyepiece.
