from the optical tube and then holding it in place thread on the knurled
nuts and tightening them down.

Use the following steps to align the finderscope:
1. Locate a distant daytime object and center it in a low power (20mm) eyepiece in the main telescope.
2. Look through the finderscope (the eyepiece end of the finderscope) and take notice of the position of the
same object.
3. Without moving the main telescope, turn the adjustment thumb screws located around the finderscope
bracket until the crosshairs of the finderscope are centered on the object chosen with the main telescope.
