The Finderscope is a pointing tool in the Sky-Watcher SK909AZ3 refractor telescope. It looks like a mini telescope mounted on the main one. It can locate the objects in the sky, but it has only small magnifying power. The Finderscope is usually equipped with brightness control, azimuth adjustment and the altitude option. A SK909AZ3 refractor type telescope mostly uses the 6x30 Finderscope.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Locate the Finderscope optical assembly and remove the thumbscrews. The thumbscrews are provided at the end of the main body of the telescope.
Step2
Position the Finderscope bracket over the screws within the telescope main body.
Step3
Replace the thumbscrews back to its position to secure the Finderscope in its place.
Step4
Detach the rubber ring present at the Finderscope bracket in case of large Finderscope. Once the rubber ring is removed, attach it to the groove on the Finderscope tube.
Step5
Slide the Finderscope into the rectangular slot provided.
Step6
Tighten the thumbscrews upon completion of the arrangement of the Finderscope/red dot finder assembly to fix the assembly.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure that the Finderscope is properly aligned with the main telescope before use.

  • Make sure that there is adequate space for assembling work.
