(on the CDK12.5, if you have the EFA kit, you should not mount the finderscope on the lower left hand set of holes because that is where the EFA kit mounts. Step 5: Slide the finderscope into the mounting rings. Use the set screws to hold the finder in place. Then slide the female dovetail of the finderscope mounting bracket rings onto the male dovetail mounted on the telescope and use the set screws on the side to set the finderscope mounting bracket rings in place. Step 6: Align the main telescope tube on an object like a bright star, planet or the moon. Once you have centered the object in the main telescope, then adjust the finderscope so it too is centered on the same object. Do this by adjusting the setscrews on the finderscope mounting bracket rings. Page 4 Page 4 Finderscope Installation rev110508 Finderscope Installation rev110508...
