Using the Barlow lens

The Barlow lens is used to double the power of the eyepieces. To use it, simply insert the Barlow lens into the focuser and then 
place the desired eyepiece into the receiving end of the Barlow lens. Note that the higher the power you use the dark er the 
image appears.

Getting the most from your telescope

Take the time to become familiar with your new telescope. Learn the names of various parts and accessories, where they have 
to go and what they do. It is easier to do this in daylight.

Before beginning your observations, take the telescope outside for around 30 minutes. This allows the telescope to adapt to the 
outside air temperature and perform at its best during observations.

Try to set up your telescope in an area sheltered from wind. Move as far away from the city lights as possible. The best 
conditions for observations include still air and clear nights when stars are out and shine brightly with little or no twinkling.

When beginning your observations, use low power eyepieces to take advantage of the wider field of view and higher contrast of 

the image. High power eyepieces are best used on nights when viewing conditions are perfect for detailed observations.

4. Turn the finder on by sliding the On/Off switch forward. The switch is located on the right side of the finder.

5. Look through the finder and locate the red dot.

6. If the object in the finder is not the object you see through the main telescope tube, you have to align it. To move the red 
dot up and down, simply turn the elevation screw located in the back of the finder. To move the red dot left and right, turn the 
windage screw located at the front left part of the finder.

Balancing the telescope

The telescope should be balanced before each observing session. Balancing reduces stress on the mount and allows precise 
micro-adjustment control.

R.A. Balancing

1. Before balancing, make sure the telescope is securely attached to the mount.

2. While holding the telescope with one hand, loosen the R.A. and Dec. lock knobs with the other. Rotate the telescope until 
the counterweight is horizontal to the ground 

3. Tighten the Dec. lock knob. 

4. Loosen the counterweight thumbscrew and move the counterweight along the rod until the telescope is balanced and 
remains stationary when released.

5. Tighten the counterweight thumbscrew. Now your telescope is perfectly balanced.
