SPACEMASTER
SPOTTING SCOPES
Congratulations, you now have one of the most advanced
spotting/field telescopes in the world. The Spacemaster
has a 60mm diameter objective lens with fully coated
optics for the brightest possible image.
In addition, if you have purchased the SPacemaster
EDPrime, #78-2000, you have the finest telescope that
Bushnell has ever manufactured. The Spacemaster
EDPrime is designed to give superior color correction
through the use of an advanced, Extra Low Dispersion
objective lens system.
FOCUSING:
The focusing system is easy and accurate. Grasp the
telescope with you thumb under the rear of the scope.
Rotate the focus wheel until the image seems to be in
sharp, crisp focus. This is all there is to it, there is no need
to overshoot or hunt for the correct focus. Once the image
appears sharp, stop focusing–the image is in the best focus
minimum eye strain.
SIGHTING:
Your Spacemaster is equipped with a “peep sight.” Look
into the rear aperture–Located just above the
eyepiece–and focus on the “target.” Center the object of
interest in the field of view. Look through the eyepiece--
there it is!
ZOOM EYEPIECE:
The Spacemaster Kit comes complete with a zoom eyepiece
which is also available separately. This eyepiece gives a
magnification range of 15 to 45 power. To change
magnification, grasp and rotate the “rubber” knurled
band near the end--eye lens--of the eyepiece. The
magnification set will appear in a window in the barrel of
the eyepiece next to the “ body” of the telescope. It may
be necessary to refocus the telescope after changing
magnification, especially when going from 15 to 45 power.

TRIPOD:
The tripod furnished in the Kit is intended to be used on
a table or some other sturdy fixed support. The tripod
legs are unfolded to the extended position and the
tripod is placed on a table. The center shaft can be
moved up and down by loosening the knurled ring on
the leg attachment bracket. The center shaft can then be
pulled up. To lower the center shaft, pull up on the
smooth lock collar immediately above the knurled ring.
This lock collar allows the tripod head to rotate freely
horizontally (“Azimuth”). When the knurled ring is
tightened, the head cannot rotate.
The tripod head can be moved up and down (“altitude”)
with coarse or fine controls. The coarse control is the
large knurled knob on the side of the head. When this
knob is loosened, the head can move freely up and
down. When the coarse knob is tightened, fine
adjustments can be made with the fine adjustment screw
protruding down from the head. This fine adjustment
control has a limited range of travel.
CASE:
The Spacemaster Kit includes a specially designed nylon
carrying “bag” which can be worn on the shoulders like
a backpack or carried by its built-in handle. The backpack
is also available separately. The telescope and tripod are
held in foam cavities; please note the fit of the parts in
their cavities and put the instrument back in the same
position. There are several accessory pockets on the
outside of the case. These are designed to hold
additional material that you may wish to pack with your
Spacemaster.
MAINTENANCE:
Your Spacemaster does not require any maintenance
beyond occasional cleaning. Brush off the bag, tripod,
and outside of the telescope. You can use a mild
household cleanser--sparingly--to clean the cloth and
metal parts. Keep the optics clean, do not allow dust or
water to stay on the glass. We recommend using the
Bushnell lens cleaning kit for the lenses.
Do not disassemble the telescope. Unauthorized
disassembly not only voids the warranty but probably will
cause damage from the lack of special tools and
techniques.
