MOVING THE TELESCOPE
The Omni AZ mount has slip clutches in both axes. To make large movements with the telescope, simply hold the optical
tube and push it in the desired direction. To make fine adjustments or to track celestial objects, turn both slow motion
knobs.
ALIGNING THE STARPOINTER PRO FINDERSCOPE
The Starpointer Pro Finderscope helps you aim your telescope by looking through its round glass window and covering
your target with the red recticle projected in the window.
The first time you assemble your telescope, you’ll need to align the finderscope with the main optics of the telescope.
Although this step can be done at night, it is significantly easier during the day. Once you have completed the finderscope
alignment, you should not have to repeat this step unless the finderscope is bumped or dropped.
1. Take the telescope outside during the day. Using your naked eye, find an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight,
car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.
2. Remove the main dust cover from the telescope and make sure your 25 mm eyepiece is installed.
3. Move the telescope left and right or up and down so that it is roughly pointing toward the object you chose in step 1.
4. Look through the telescope’s eyepiece and manually move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the center of
the view. If the image is blurry, gently turn the focus knobs until it comes into sharp focus.
NOTE: The image in the telescope eyepiece will appear upside-down. This is perfectly normal in an astronomical telescope.
5. Once the object is centered in your 25 mm eyepiece, turn on the finderscope by turning the power/brightness switch
knob on the bottom of the unit as far as it will go.
6. With your head positioned about a foot behind the finder, look through the round window and locate the red reticle. It will
probably be close to, but not on top of, the object you see when you are looking through the 25 mm eyepiece.
7. Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment knobs on the side and underneath the finderscope. One controls
the left-right motion of the reticle, while the other controls the up-down motion. Adjust both until the reticle appears over
the same object you are observing in the 25 mm eyepiece.
Now choose some other distant targets to practice aiming your telescope. Look through the Starpointer Pro Finderscope
window and place the red dot on the target you are trying to view and verify that it is the 25 mm eyepiece of the scope.
With your finderscope aligned, your telescope is fully assembled and you are ready to observe!
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the Starpointer Pro Finderscope when not in use to conserve battery power.
