Attaching the Viewfinder

ETX-90AT: 8 x 21mm Viewfinder: Slide the eyepiece end of the viewfinder

through the front of the viewfinder bracket (16, Fig. 18).

ETX-105AT or ETX-125AT: 8 x 25mm Right-Angle Viewfinder: Slide the front

cell end of the right-angle viewfinder through the rear of the viewfinder bracket

(17, Fig. 19).

Unthread the six alignment screws slightly to fit the viewfinder through the

bracket. With the viewfinder in place, tighten the six alignment screws to a firm feel

only against the viewfinder tube.

Using The Viewfinder

As with most astronomical telescopes, the ETX model telescopes present a fairly

narrow field of view to the observer. As a result it is sometimes difficult to locate and

center objects in the telescope’s field of view. The viewfinder, by contrast, is a low-

power, wide-field sighting scope with crosshairs that let you easily center objects in

the eyepiece of the main telescope’s field of view. The telescope viewfinder is a great

help in locating faint astronomical objects before you begin observing through the

telescope eyepiece.

Standard equipment with the ETX-90AT, the 8 x 21mm Erect-Image Viewfinder has
