How to Attach the Finderscope to the Sky-Watcher SK909AZ3 Refractor Telescope

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.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Locate the Finderscope optical assembly and remove the thumbscrews. The thumbscrews are provided at the end of the main body of the telescope.

2. Position the Finderscope bracket over the screws within the telescope main body.

3. Replace the thumbscrews back to its position to secure the Finderscope in its place.

4. 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.

5. Slide the Finderscope into the rectangular slot provided.

6. Tighten the thumbscrews upon completion of the arrangement of the Finderscope/red dot finder assembly to fix the assembly.
