Orion SkyLine
®
to Telescope Bracket
#52062
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality product from Orion.
This bracket will couple your SkyLine Green Laser Pointer to your
telescope (and may work with other, similar green laser pointers.)
When properly aligned with your telescope the laser pointer will
indicate where you are currently pointing without having to look
through a finder. This makes finding objects in your telescope
much easier. This also allows you to adjust your telescope from a
more natural, standing position. You will find aiming your telescope
with the SkyLine Green Laser Pointer is a more rewarding and fun
experience overall.

Bracket (with nylon thumbscrews installed)
On/off collar
3x very small setscrews
Knurled metal thumbscrew
Small hex key
Assembly
1. Install the three small setscrews and the knurled metal
thumbscrew into the on/off collar. Use the small hex key to
install the setscrews.
2. Now, slide the on/off collar onto your SkyLine green
laser pointer. You may need to loosen the setscrews and
thumbscrew to do this. Position the on/off collar so that the
thumbscrew is directly above the laser pointer's on/off button.
Tighten the three setscrews equally with the small hex key to
secure the on/off collar in place (Figure 2).
3. Loosen the nylon thumbscrews on the bracket, and slide the
laser pointer into the bracket. The rear of the laser pointer
should first pass through the forward ring of the bracket. To
pass the laser through the rear ring, you must pull the spring
tensioner back with your fingers (Figure 3).
4. Tighten the nylon thumbscrews equally to secure the laser in
the bracket.
5. Attach the GLP Bracket to your telescope as you would
any finder bracket. Insert the base of the bracket into the
dovetail holder located adjacent to the focuser. (An optional
Dovetail Base is available through Orion Customer Service if
your telescope does not include one.) Lock the bracket into
position by tightening the knurled thumbscrew on the dovetail
holder (Figure 4).
Now that the laser and bracket are installed on your telescope,
the laser must be aligned so that it points to the center of the tele-
scope's field of view.
