THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE
The StarPointer is the quickest and easiest way to point your telescope exactly at a desired object in the sky It's
like having a laser pointer that you can shine directly onto the night sky The StarPointer is a zero magnification
pointing tool that uses a coated glass window to superimpose the image of a small red dot onto the night sky
While keeping both eyes open when looking through the StarPointer, simply move your telescope until the red dot,
seen through the StarPointer, merges with the object as seen with your unaided eye The red dot is produced by a
light-emitting diode (LED); it is not a laser beam and will not damage the glass window or your eye The StarPointer
comes equipped with a variable brightness control and two axes alignment control Before the StarPointer is ready
for use, it must be attached to the telescope tube and properly aligned
STARPOINTER INSTALLATION
1 Slide the finderscope bracket into the dovetail slot on
the telescope tube near the focuser
2 The large window on the finder should be facing the front
of the telescope

Your StarPointer finderscope is shipped with a clear plastic
tab inserted between the battery and the contact to prevent
