Barlow lens. Thread the filter onto the bottom of the eyepiece and
re-insert the eyepiece into the diagonal or Barlow.
ALIGNING THE
FINDERSCOPE
The finder is one of the most important parts of your
telescope. It helps you locate objects and center them
in the eyepiece. The first time you assemble your
telescope, you need to align the finder to the telescope's
main optics. It's best to do this during the day*.
* SOLAR WARNING!
Never attempt to view the
Sun through any telescope without a proper solar

CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and find an easily
recognizable object, like a streetlight, license plate or sign. The object
should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the three finger knobs on the
finderscope bracket to move the finder around in the bracket until
the crosshair appears over the same object you are observing in the
telescope's 20mm eyepiece.
TIP: Try adjusting one screw at a time. Loosen one screw by half
a turn and tighten another by the same amount to ensure the
finderscope is securely held in place.
