Moving the
Telescope
Aligning the
Finderscope
The fi nder is one of the most important parts of your
telescope. It helps you locate objects and center
them in the eyepiece. The fi rst time you assemble
your telescope, you need to align the fi nder to the
telescope's main optics. It's best to do this during
the day*.
*SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to
view the Sun through any telescope without
a proper solar fi lter!

LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE
Once the object is centered in your 25 mm eyepiece,
look through the fi nderscope and locate the red dot.

The StarSense Explorer DX mount has slip clutches
in both axes. To make large movements with the
telescope, simply hold a tripod leg with one hand
and use the other hand on the telescope tube to
push the telescope in the desired direction.

CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and fi nd
an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight,
car license plate or sign. The object should be as far
away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE
Without moving the telescope, use the two
adjustment knobs to move the fi nder around until
the red dot appears over the same object you are
observing in the telescope's 25 mm eyepiece.

CENTER THE TARGET IN THE EYEPIECE
Look through the telescope using your lower
powered eyepiece. 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 on either
side of the telescope until it comes into sharp focus.
NOTE: The image in your telescope may appear
inverted. This is perfectly normal in an
astronomical telescope.
