60mm Multi-Use Guide Scope
®
Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion 60mm Multi-Use Guide Scope with Helical Focuser. It's
a smartly designed, versatile guide scope that can also be used as a straight-through finder scope with
the addition of a 1.25" eyepiece, sold separately. It features a "non-rotating" helical focuser with a built-
in, adjustable extension tube that enables the user to quickly achieve sharp focus of guide stars with
your autoguiding camera. The guide scope's 60mm objective lens gathers 44-percent more light than a
50mm guidescope, putting more potential guide stars on your autoguider's CCD sensor! Includes dual-
ring mounting bracket with six-point adjustment and Vixen-style dovetail bar.
