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.
