Page 5: Aligning The Finder Scope
安全上のご注意 Aligning the Finder Scope ◆天体望遠鏡をご使用の前に◆ ●What is a finder scope? If you try to find a star with a telescope from the very beginning, it is very hard to catch the target astral object due to high-powers and narrow field of view of the telescope. The finder has a lower-powers and wider field of view compare to the main telescope and it is easier to find the positional relations between the stars. You can see the reticle in the center field of the finder and set the target astral object at this cross point.In order to smoothly introduce the target astral object to the main tube through the finder scope, the finder must be collimated (aligned) with the telescope first. Please align the optical axis of the finder scope through the following steps before observing. ●Steps to align the finder scope By adjusting (tighten or loosen) the 3 adjust- ment screws on the finder bracket, the direction It is better to carry out most of this procedure of the finder can be changed. during the daytime. 20ｍｍEyepiece Adjustment screws （3locations） Locking Screws Erecting prism For example, by tightening the adjustment screw 1) Aim the telescope at a small object that is on the top and loosening the two adjustment about several km away, such as a chimney top screws on the bottom, the finder can be turned or tip of an antenna. to face upwards (see the picture below for reference).

However, it will darken and lower the resolution of the image. For this reason, please use the 3X Barlow lens only for high power observation. 3xBarlow Lens Eyepiece 2) Before using the telescope, identify your object with your eyes first.

A) Confirm whether the finder and the main tube are looking at the same star or not. Try to do the alignment again if necessary. Problem #2 I do not know which star I am looking at Possible problems and solutions Q) Is the finder and the main tube looking at different places? A) Confirm whether the finder and the main tube are looking at the same star or not. Try to do the alignment again if necessary. Q) Is the telescope correctly facing the target star?
