ALIGN THE VIEWFINDER WITH THE OTA:
(See page 25 to learn how to attach the viewfinder to
the telescope.)
During the daytime, point the telescope at a distant
object (at least 200 yards away), such as a telephone
pole or a street sign. Center the object in the tele-
scope's eyepiece.
Look through the viewfinder and loosen or tighten, as
appropriate, one or more of the collimation screws until
the viewfinders crosshairs are precisely centered on the
object in the OTA. Notice that the left rear knob is
spring-loaded, to make the adjustment of the two other
rear knobs easier.
Fine tune this alignment on a bright star during the
nighttime.
