Assembly Instructions

How to use the eyepieces & accessories

It is recommended to follow this order when assembling your telescope for the first time. It will help you better understand 

what each piece does. 

1. Focuser 

17

Rotate the focus knob away from you until the focus tube goes no further. To focus the view, slowly rotate the focus knobs 
toward you until the image is sharp.
Note that the eyepiece has to be inserted otherwise you will not see the image.

2. Eyepiece 

18

Insert an eyepiece into the receiving end of the focuser. It is recommended to begin with the lowest power eyepiece. Remember 
that the longer the focal length, the lower the power the eyepiece yields. Keep in mind that increasing the power will decrease 

the apparent field of view and the brightness and sharpness of your images.

3. Barlow lens 

19

The Barlow lens is used to achieve the highest practical power of your telescope. Insert the Barlow lens into the focuser and 
then place an eyepiece into the receiving end of your Barlow lens. You will have to refocus the view after this.

Red dot finder assembly

To attach the finder:

1. Remove the red dot finder from the box.

2. Loosen thumbscrews on the side of your finder and slide it into a dovetail mount located at the top of the telescope tube.

3. Tighten thumbscrews.

To align to the telescope:

1. Aim the telescope at an object at least 300 yards away and bring it into focus. This is best done in daylight.

2. Make sure the object is in the center of your view, and tighten all the knobs to prevent any movement.

3. Open the battery compartment underneath the finder and remove the cover from the battery (it is recommended to replace
