ASSEMBLING YOUR TELESCOPE THE MOUNT The ExploraScope mount and tripod come fully assembled, so setting it up is easy. 1. Remove the tripod and mount from the box. 2. Loosen the knobs at the bottom of each leg and extend the inner section of the leg to the desired length. Tighten the knobs to secure the legs, being careful not to over tighten. 3. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until the center brace snaps into place. Fig. 1 4.
THE EYEPIECES Your telescope comes with two eyepieces, a low power (20 mm eyepiece) and a higher power eyepiece (4 mm eyepiece). Whenever you set up your telescope, always start with the 20 mm eyepiece. Once you have your target centered in the 20 mm eyepiece, you can switch to your higher power 4 mm eyepiece to get a more detailed view. To install an eyepiece: 1. Loosen the setscrews on the open end of the star diagonal. 2. Insert the silver barrel of the 20 mm eyepiece into the star diagonal (Fig. 5). 3.
ALIGNING THE STARPOINTER FINDERSCOPE The StarPointer finderscope helps you aim your telescope by looking through its round glass window and covering your target with the red dot projected in the window. The first time you assemble your telescope, you’ll need to align the StarPointer with the main optics of the telescope. Although this step can be done at night, it is significantly easier during the day.
YOUR FIRST ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVING SESSION THE MOON Now you are ready to take your telescope out at night and do some real observing! Let’s start with the Moon. The Moon takes about one month go through a complete phase cycle, from New Moon to Full Moon and back again. Try observing it at different points during this cycle. While you can observe the Moon any time it is visible in the night sky, the best time to view it is from two days after a New Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon.
