PRODUCED TO PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS.
PRIOR TO USING YOUR NEW GALILEO TELESCOPE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SETUP
AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROPERLYASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE
IN ORDER TO ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
CONSIDER USING THE TELESCOPE FOR EARTH (TERRESTRIAL) VIEWING BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO VIEW ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS. THIS WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU WITH HOW
POWERFUL EACH EYEPIECE WILL BE,AS WELLAS INTRODUCING YOU TO THE FUNCTIONS
OF YOUR ACCESSORY LENSES.
DUE TO THE DIAGONAL PRISM POSITIONED IN THE FOCUS HOUSING, THE IMAGE YOU
SEE WILLALWAYS BE RIGHT SIDE UP.
WE RECOMMEND YOU BEGIN WITH THE LOWEST POWER EYEPIECE, 20MM, WHEN USING
YOUR TELESCOPE.AS YOU INCREASE THE POWER TO 6MM, YOUR POWER WILL BE HIGHER,
BUT THE IMAGE WILLAPPEAR DARKER; THIS IS DUE TO THE BASIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE TELESCOPE. THE HIGHER THE POWER YOU USE THE DARKER THE IMAGE WILL
APPEAR AND YOUR VIEWING FIELD WILL BE MORE NARROW.
PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE. IT ISA VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENT
THAT IS CAPABLE OF USING HIGH POWERS. HOWEVER, THE MORE POWER YOU USE, THE
MORE SENSITIVE THE TELESCOPE BECOMES. AS ARESULT, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF
THE TELESCOPE COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE THE IMAGE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EYEPIECE.
PRACTICE WILL ENABLE YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH MOVEMENT TO EXPECT WITH EACH
EYEPIECE AND IT'S CORRESPONDING POWER.
THIS TELESCOPE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AGAINST CHROMATIC ABERRATION AND

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
2. ADJUST TRIPOD TO PROPER HEIGHT BY LOOSENING,
ADJUSTING AND TIGHTENING THE LOCKING KNOBS.
3. REMOVE TELESCOPEAND MOUNT FROM CARTON.
NOTE: THEY COME PRE-ASSEMBLED FROM THE FACTORY.
4. LOOSEN MOUNTING KNOB ON THE TELESCOPE
MOUNT (UNDERNEATH)
5. PLACE THE TELESCOPE AND MOUNTASSEMBLY
ONTO THE TOP OF THE TRIPOD.
6. TIGHTEN LOCKING KNOB (UNDERNEATH THE TRIPOD TOP) SECURELY.
8. REMOVE ELECTRONIC MARS-EYE FINDER.
9. USE THE TWO THUMB SCREWS TO POSITION THE
ELECTRONIC MARS-EYE FINDER ON THE TELESCOPE
TUBE. FOR ADDITIONAL HELP SEE THE PAGE IN YOUR
INSTRUCTION BOOK FOR ELECTRONIC MARS-EYE FINDER
MOUNTING AND ALIGNMENT.
REMOVE PRE-ASSEMBLED TRIPOD
NOTE: SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.
CAUTION: NEVER POINT YOUR TELESCOPE
AT THE SUN. VIEWING THE SUN WITH
THIS TELESCOPE OR EVEN THE UNAIDED
EYE CAN RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR OTHER
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE.

PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE EYEPIECES AND ACCESSORIES IS IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO
ASSURE EASY OPERATIONS AND CLEAR VIEWING.
PLEASE USE THE ACCESSORIES IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER. BY DOING THIS, YOU WILL
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT EACH INDIVIDUALACCESSORY HAS ON THE FUNCTION
OF YOUR TELESCOPE. 1) FOCUSING TUBE
TURN FOCUSING WHEELS TOWARD THE
TELESCOPE UNTIL IT WILL NOT GO FURTHER.
TO FOCUS BEGIN TO TURN THE FOCUSING
KNOBS TOWARD YOUR BODY, SLOWLY, UNTIL
THE IMAGE IS CLEAR. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE
AN EYEPIECE AND ERECT IMAGE PRISM
INSERTED IN ORDER TO VIEW IMAGE.
2) ERECT IMAGE PRISM
INSERT THE ERECT IMAGE PRISM INTO THE
FOCUSING HOUSING.
3) EYEPIECE INSERTION
AFTER THE ERECT IMAGE PRISM IS INSERTED,
PLACE THE EYEPIECE (20MM) INTO THE
ERECT IMAGE PRISM. THE LOWER THE NUMBER
ON THE EYEPIECE, THE HIGHER THE POWER
YOUR TELESCOPE WILL BE USING. PLUS,
YOU DECREASE THE FIELD OF VIEW AND
THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR IMAGE. WHEN
USING EYEPIECES, WE SUGGEST ALWAYS
STARTING WITH THE LOWEST POWER AND
THEN GOING UP.
HOW TO USE EYEPIECES & ACCESSORIES
20MM IDEALLY SUITED FORALL TERRESTRIALAND ASTRONOMICAL VIEWING.
6MM EYEPIECE IS RECOMMENDED FOR NIGHTS OF STEADY SEEING.

TO MOUNT:
1) REMOVE MARS-EYE ELECTRONIC FINDER FROM BOX.
2) LOOSEN THUMB SCREWS ON SIDE OF FINDER AND SLIDE FINDER ONTO DOVETAIL
MOUNT LOCATED AT TOP OF MAIN TELESCOPE TUBE.
3) TIGHTEN THUMB SCREWS.
TO CHECK ALIGNMENT WITH MAIN TELESCOPE:(IMPORTANT!)
1) THE MARS-EYE ELECTRONIC FINDER IS NOT PRE-SET AT FACTORY. THE FOLLOWING
WILLALLOW YOU TO ADJUST THE ALIGNMENT.
2) DURING THE DAY LIGHT HOURS, AIM THE MAIN TELESCOPE AT AN OBJECTAT LEAST 1/4
MILE OR MORE IN THE DISTANCE AND BRING IT INTO FOCUS.(VERY IMPORTANT)
3) ONCE YOU HAVE CENTERED THE REFERENCE ITEM IN THE MAIN TUBE, TIGHTEN ALL
KNOBS AND ADJUSTMENTS TO PREVENT ANY MOVEMENT.
4) REMOVE CIRCULAR BATTERY SAVER LOCATED BENEATH FRONT OF FINDER (BE SURE.
TO SAVE AND REPLACE THE BATTERY SAVER WHEN NOT IN USE.)
5) TURN FINDER ON BY SLIDING ON/OFF SWITCH FORWARD.ON/OFF SWITCH IS LOCATED
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FINDER.
6) LOOK THROUGH THE FINDER AND LOCATE
7) IF THE OBJECT IN THE MARS-EYE FINDER IS NOT THE OBJECT YOU SEE THROUGH THE
MAIN TELESCOPE TUBE, ADJUSTMENT IS REQUIRED.
8) TO MOVE THE RED DOT UP AND DOWN, SIMPLY TURN THE ELEVATION SCREW LOCATED
ON THE REAR BOTTOM OF THE FINDER TO HEIGHT REQUIRED.
9) TO MOVE THE RED DOT LEFTAND RIGHT, SIMPLY TURN THE WINDAGE SCREW LOCATED
AT THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE FINDER TO THE PROPER POSITION.
10) THESE ADJUSTMENTS WILL ALLOW YOU TO POSITION THE RED DOT ON THE SAME
OBJECT CENTERED IN THE MAIN TELESCOPE.

TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW TELESCOPE. LEARN THE NAMES
OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEYARE LOCATED AND THEIR FUNCTION. IT IS BEST TO
PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.
WHEN SETTING UP FOR A VIEWING SESSION, PLACE THE TELESCOPE IN AN AREA
SHELTERED FROM THE WIND IF POSSIBLE. THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE AWAY
FROM CITY LIGHTAND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN TO JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONSARE
GOOD. LOOK FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE OR NO
TWINKLING.
USE LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND BRIGHTER
IMAGE. RESERVE YOUR HIGHER POWERS FOR THOSE NIGHTS WHEN VIEWING
CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.
