Orion SKYLINE 52062 - Manual (Page 2)

1. Point your telescope at a target that is 100 feet or further away.
Using a low power 25mm eyepiece look through the telescope,
and make sure that the object is centered in the field of view.
2. Turn the green laser pointer on by rotating the knurled metal
thumbscrew on the on/off collar clockwise.
3. Use the two larger thumbscrews in the rear ring of the bracket
to adjust the laser until it is pointing to the same target that the
telescope is centered on. Adjust one thumbscrew at a time,
the spring tensioner will ensure that the laser pointer will stay
secure in the bracket. If you cannot adjust the laser to point
where you want by just using the two larger thumbscrews,
then make additional adjustments to the three smaller thumb-
screws in the forward ring of the bracket.
4. If you have a higher power eyepiece you can repeat steps 1-3.
The narrower field of view will increase the accuracy of the
alignment.
Once the laser points to the same target that the telescope is cen-
tered on, the laser is aligned with the telescope. You’re ready to
use the green laser pointer with the telescope under the night sky.
Using the Laser Pointer while Observing.
Turn on the green laser pointer by rotating the metal thumbscrew
on the on/off collar clockwise. You will now see the green laser
beam extending into the night sky. Where the end of the laser
beam terminates is where the telescope is currently pointing to
(if the laser is properly aligned). As you move your telescope the
laser beam will move through the sky along with it. Use constella-
tions or bright stars near the desired object to acquire your target
in the telescope. Be sure to turn off your laser pointer after you
have acquired your target and when not in use.
If you are at a public viewing session you will want to limit your use
of the laser to finding objects only. If there are people nearby astro-
imaging the laser beam could affect their images. Intentionally
pointing a laser at passing aircraft is dangerous and illegal. Please
be aware of this and use caution when pointing any laser into the
sky.
