Using the telescope
Eyepiece
An eyepiece is required in order to view through the Nature Eye.
The H10mm eyepiece in included with your Nature Eye Telescope.
The diagram below shows the focal length of the eyepiece.
Magnification (power) is determined by dividing the focal length of the
telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece.
2x Barlow lens
You will double the magnification when using the 2x Barlow Lens with
the eyepiece.

Focusing
To focus the optical tube, rotate the
Focus Knob, as shown in the diagram.
Begin with the H10mm eyepiece.
As magnification increases, the point
of focus is shorter, making it more
difficult to attain correct focus.
Astronomical and Land observation
are influenced by climate, wind, and
lights. Observing while indoors may
cause you to see double or dim
images. Nature Eye is best used in
the outdoors.
Revolving Eyepiece Focuser
Rotate the revolving eyepiece focuser
for more comfortable observation.
Vertical and Horizontal Motion Clamps
Keep your target object in view by
tracking. Loosen the vertical and
