HELPFUL HINTS FOR SETTING UP YOUR TELESCOPE
1) Unpack the tripod from the box. Next, stand the
tripod up vertically by dragging the leg extension
and spread the legs apart fully.
2) Slide the telescope bracket (5) and adjust the holes.
3) Remove the lens lids (11 & 1) from the eyepiece
and the objective lens (10 & 2).
OBSERVING ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS THROUGH YOUR TELESCOPE
1) Glance through the main telescope's eyepiece (10) for your object. (Note: You may have to alter the
angle of the telescope slightly.) The object will most likely seem to be blurry at this stage, but that
is normal. You are just trying to get the object in the viewing field of your telescope lens. Once you
have accomplished this task, fasten the knob bolt (6) to keep the accuracy of your telescope steady.
2) Now adjust the focusing tube (9) by turning the focusing knob (12) slowly back and forth until the
blurred object becomes precise.
3) If you are going to be looking through the telescope for a short period of time, you can insert the
eyepiece (10) directly into the focusing tube (9). To be more comfortable when using your telescope
for longer periods of time, place the diagonal mirror (13) into the focusing tube (9) and the eyepiece
(10) into the diagonal mirror.
VIEWING TERRESTRIAL OBJECTS THROUGH YOUR TELESCOPE (Only applicable to item no. 23031)
For viewing terrestrial objects, remove the diagonal mirror (13) and the eyepiece (10) from the focusing
tube (9). Insert the erecting eyepiece (14) into the focusing tube. The erecting eyepiece can also be used as a
21x microscope by placing the objective end (the end with the transparent tube) flat on an object and
looking through the eyepiece.

SETTING UP AND REMOVING THE SMART PHONE ADAPTER
Conventional methods which help identify and locate the celestial objects often trouble the novice users
either by cost or manual labor. A new, convenient and accurate way is to utilize the smartphone software
application.
To aid in using the software application, you have a smartphone adapter to secure your smartphone onto the
telescope. Thus, your smartphone and telescope can be moved and adjusted together to locate the celestial
objects with your desired angle and direction.
To place your smart phone on the adaptor and remove it after use, follow these directions:
Attach the smartphone to the holder:
1)
Loosen the large knob at the back of
the adaptor and put the smartphone on
it with face up.
2)
Adjust the position of the horizontal arm to fit the
width of the smartphone and tighten the large knob so
that the sm
artphone is securely held in place.
Attach the telescope clip to the telescope tube:
3)
Loosen the small knob on
the base of the clip.
4)
Open the arc of the ring.
5)
Attach clip to the telescope tube
with the flat side in upper position.

6) Close the ring, secure by tightening the small knob.
Attach the smartphone to and remove it from the telescope:
7)
Slide the smartphone adapter to the
telescope clip.
8)
Press the quick release lever and slide the
smartphone a
daptor out.
USING STAR WALK
TM
2
A stargazing smartphone software application (e.g. Star Walk ™ 2 for iOS and Android) helps you find and
identify the celestial objects easily.
Select “Take a Tour” (Menu Take a tour) to familiarize yourself with the various app features.
The App language will follow your smartphone’s language setting.
Features Highlight:
IDENTIFY THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS
After the smartphone adapter is attached to the telescope,
the smartphone orientation is aligned with the telescope.
Utilizing the smartphone’s location, orientation and time
information, a star map application can show the real
time simulated sky view on the screen matching the view
through the telescope. Names of the stars or celestial
objects are shown on screen. The information of the
screen is automatically updated when users adjust the
telescope or move the telescope to a different location.
SEARCH AND DIRECT
Another advantage of using the application software is
that users can search for a celestial object. The screen
will guide users which direction to move the telescope.
INFORMATION OF THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS
Users can select the objects on the screen to read
detailed information like their internal structures, orbits
and compositions.

TIME MACHINE
Besides the real-time star map, users can extend the
control of star viewing into the past and future. Users can
see how specific celestial events unfold through the
change of time.
HOW MUCH POWER: CHOOSING THE EYE LENS
Power refers to the ability of a telescope to enlarge an image, or, in effect, bring it closer to the viewer.
Amount of magnifying power is signified by a number followed by an X (read "power"). So if you view
an object at 25X, you are seeing it as if you are 25 times closer to that object.
Power is calculated by dividing the focal length of your telescope's objective lens (probably indicated on the
focus tube) by the focal length of the eye lens you select. The focal length of the eye lens is usually
indicated on the eyepiece itself (e.g., 4mm, 10mm, 20mm etc.)
Example:
500mm (focal length of objectives lens)
= 25X (power)
20mm (focal length of eyepiece)
The longer the focal length of the eyepiece, the less the magnifying power of the telescope; the shorter the
focal length, the greater the power. So when you select an eye lens to insert into the diagonal prism, you're
really choosing what magnifying power you wish to use for observation.
CARE OF YOUR TELESCOPE
Your telescope should be kept away from dust and moisture. If the lenses get dirty, blow any dust
particles off before cleaning. Clean the lenses with a moistened lens tissue. Always store your
telescope in the box when not in use.
