THE EYEPIECES
Your telescope comes with two eyepieces, a low power (20 mm eyepiece) and a higher power eyepiece (4 mm
eyepiece). Whenever you set up your telescope, always start with the 20 mm eyepiece. Once you have your target
centered in the 20 mm eyepiece, you can switch to your higher power 4 mm eyepiece to get a more detailed view.
To install an eyepiece:
1. Loosen the setscrews on the open end of the star diagonal.
2. Insert the silver barrel of the 20 mm eyepiece into the star diagonal
(Fig. 5).
3. Tighten the setscrews to secure the eyepiece
4. To see the sharpest image possible, you need to focus by looking
through the eyepiece and slowly turning the focusing knobs until you
find the sharpest image.
THE STARPOINTER
TM
The ExploraScope comes with a StarPointer finderscope that you will use as a
sighting tool when aiming the telescope at a target.
To install your StarPointer finderscope:
1. Remove the two silver nuts from the threaded posts at the top
of the tube, near the focuser.
2. Place the two holes in the base of the finderscope over the
threaded posts so the finderscope base sits flush on the
telescope tube. Make sure that the round window on the
finderscope is pointed toward the end of the telescope that you
will point at your target.
3. Thread the two nuts back onto the threaded posts (Fig. 6)
4. There is a small clear plastic tab inserted between the battery
and the contact. This was included to prevent the battery from discharging
during shipment. Pull this out to allow your battery to work.
