    FINDING OBJECTS 1. Loosen the altitude locks on the sides of the telescope tube and the silver azimuth lock on the base of the altazimuth mount, then move the telescope in the desired direction. 2. Look through the finderscope and pan the telescope until the object appears in the field of view.
  • Page 7 Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. 2. The first thing you need to do after assembling the telescope as planned is center the desired object in the finderscope. Provided you did a reasonable job aligning the finderscope, a quick look through the main telescope tube at low power should reveal the same image.
  • Page 8: Helpful Hints

    1. Your telescope is a very sensitive instrument. For best results and fewer vibrations set your telescope up on a level location on the ground rather than your concrete driveway or your wooden deck. This will provide a more stable foundation for viewing, especially if you’ve drawn a crowd with your new telescope.
