To install the finderscope onto the telescope you must first mount the

finderscope through the finder bracket and then attach it to the telescope.

Toward the front of the telescope tube, near the focusing assembly, there is a

small bracket with a set screw in it. This is where the finderscope bracket will

be mounted. To install the finderscope:

1. Slide the rubber O-ring over the eyepiece end of the finderscope and

roll it 2/3 of the way up the finderscope.

2. Insert the eyepiece end of the finderscope through the bracket until the

O-ring presses tightly between the finder and the inside of the bracket.

3. Tighten the adjustment screws until they make contact with the

finderscope body.

4. Locate the mounting bracket near the front (open) end of the telescope.

5. Loosen the set screw on the mounting bracket on the telescope.

6. Slide the finder bracket (attached to the finderscope) into the mounting

bracket on the telescope.

7. The finderscope bracket will slide in from the back. The finderscope

should be oriented so that the objective lens is toward the front (open)

end of the telescope (see figure 2-12).

8. Tighten the set screw on the mounting bracket to hold the finderscope

in place.
