The PowerSeeker 50AZ comes with a 1.5x erecting
eyepiece, primarily for daytime terrestrial viewing. This
eyepiece corrects the image you see in your telescope, so
that it's both right side up and corrected from left to right.
Install and use this eyepiece the same way you do with
the Barlow Lens in the section above. You cannot use the
Barlow lens when using this eyepiece.

To install the finderscope:
1. Locate the finderscope (it will be mounted inside the
finderscope bracket) – see Figures 1-1 and 1-2.
2. Remove the knurled nuts on the threaded posts on the
optical tube – see Figure 2-17.
3. Mount the finderscope bracket by placing it over the
posts protruding from the optical tube and then holding
it in place thread on the knurled nuts and tightening
them down.
4. Note that the finderscope should be oriented so that
the larger diameter lens is facing toward the front of the
optical tube.
5. Remove the lens caps from both ends of the finderscope.

ligning The
inderScoPe
Use the following steps to align the finderscope:
1. Locate a distant daytime object and center it in a low
power (20 mm) eyepiece in the main telescope.
2. Look through the finderscope (the eyepiece end of the
finderscope) and take notice of the position of the
same object.
3. Without moving the main telescope, turn the
adjustment thumb screws located around the
finderscope bracket until the crosshairs of the
finderscope are centered on the object chosen with
the main telescope.
