Open the tripod until the tripod spreaders are fully extended. Put the accessory tray in place and turn it clockwise until stable.
- Page 5 NOTE: The magnifying power of a telescope is determined by dividing the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. This means that as the focal length of your eyepiece increases, the magnifying power decreases. Using/Aligning the Red Dot Viewfinder: The viewfinder is powered by a CR-2032 battery that is included.

Page 6: Troubleshooting Guide
Cleaning: Your telescope is a precision optical device and keeping the optics free of dust and dirt is crucial for optimal performance. To clean the lenses (objective and eyepiece) use only a photo-grade soft brush or a lint-free cloth, like a microfiber cloth. Do not press down too hard while cleaning, as this might scratch the lens. - Page 7 Using the Smartphone Adapter: SUPERVISION BY ADULTS Read and follow the instructions, safety rules and first aid information The Smartphone Adapter will allow you to connect almost any “smart” device to a 1.25” eyepiece. To use the adapter, place it directly onto the selected eyepiece and secure it by tightening the setscrew until snug.

Page 8: Observing Tips
Observing Tips: Star hopping Star hopping is a technique used by amateur astronomers to navigate the night sky. By using easily recognizable constellations and asterisms as a guide, an observer can locate stars and other objects. For example, Polaris, which is Merak Dubhe commonly referred to as The North... - Page 9 Pleiades Star Cluster(M45): Right ascension: 03: 47.0 (hours: minutes) Declination: +24: 07 (degrees: minutes) Distance: Approximately 444 light years The Pleiades Star Cluster is a group of brilliant blue stars located in the Taurus Constellation. Also known as Messier 45 or “Seven Sisters”, this open star cluster consists of more than 1,000 confirmed stars, although an average of only six are visible to the unaided eye.
- Page 10 Types Of Telescopes: Focuser Light Focuser Primary Mirror Secondary Mirror (Objective) Light Light Focuser Primary Mirror Secondary Mirror Reflector (Objective) Light A reflector telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light. Light enters the telescope through its open front end and Light travels to the concave primary mirror at the back.

- Page 12 Aperture 102mm Eyepiece Focal Length 20mm Telescope Focal Length Magnification: 1000mm The magnification corresponds to the difference between observation with the naked eye and observation through a magnifying device like a telescope. If a telescope configuration has a magnification of 30x, then an object viewed through the telescope will appear 30 times larger than it would with the naked eye.
