The Omegon® Radiant Finder with base
Congratulations on the purchase of the Omegon® Radiant finder with base. With this finder, finding astronomical objects in
the night sky is quick and easy. Three red circles are projected on the optical window allowing to super-impose these circles
onto the night sky. The brightness adjustment allows locating even the dimmest objects.
1. Knowing your Radiant
1. On/Off and brightness button;
2. Thumbscrew (two units) to fix Radiant to its plastic base;
3. Lid for the battery compartment;
4. Plastic base;
5. Glass window where the reticule is projected;
6. Condenser lens;
7. Alignment thumbscrews.
2. How to fix Radiant to a telescope? Larger telescopes usually
offer a larger surface for fixing the Radiant's plastic base (#4).
Ensure your telescope provides a free space of at least 180mm
in length and 100mm in width.
Find a suitable position to place the finder to the telescope's
tube. The double-sided tape included on the plastic base (#4) is
very strong, and once the plastic base has been fixed to the
tube, it will be very hard to remove it.
Remove the plastic base (#4) from the assembly and peel
carefully the protective plastic from the double-sided tape. Place
it on to the previously-assigned position on the telescope. Please
make sure that the base is as parallel, as much possible, to the
telescope tube (pointing in the same direction).
If you are right-handed, we recommend placing the base
so that the fixing thumbscrews (#2) are to your right.
3. Placing the batteries (not supplied). Slide the lid for the
battery compartment (#3) to expose the battery compartment.
Remove the battery compartment and place 2xAA batteries (not included). Pay attention to the correct polarity.
