7 no longer obstructs the inner diameter of the f ocus barrel. Remov e the protective dust cap from the f ocuser barrel. 2. Slide the chrome portion of the star diagonal into the eye- piece adapter . 3. Tighten the thumbscrew on the eyepiece adapter to hold the star diagonal in place.
8 Figure 1. Tighten the thumbscrew on the dov etail holder to secure the EZ Finder II in place. Operation The EZ Finder II w or ks by projecting a tiny red dot onto a lens mounted in the front of the unit. When you look through the EZ Finder II, the red dot will appear to float in space, helping you locate ev en the faintest of deep space objects .
9 Caldwell - A combination of the best NGC and IC objects. Planets - All 8 planets in our Solar System plus the Moon. Stars - A compiled list of the brightest stars from the SAO catalog.
10 • Press the RA TE ke y on the hand control. The LCD will displa y the current speed rate in the upper r ight corner . • Press thenumber on thehand control thatcorresponds to the desired speed.
11 Time - Enter the current time f or y our area. Y ou can enter either the local time (i.e. 8:00 ), or you can enter military time (i.e. 20:00 ). • SelectPM orAM. Ifmilitar ytime wasentered, thehand control will bypass this step .
12 Auto T wo-Star Align As with Sky Align, Auto T wo-Star Align requires y ou to enter all the necessar y time/site information as referenced in the section entitled Initial Setup . Once this inf or mation is entered and confirmed, StarSeek er will prompt y ou to select and point the telescope at one known star .
13 4. StarSeeker then asks y ou to center in the e yepiece the al ig nm en t st ar y ou s el ec te d. U se t he d ir ec ti on a rr ow buttons to slew the telescope to the alignment star and carefully center the star in the finderscope . Press ENTER when centered.
14 that list. Pressing the Up and Down keys (10) allows you to scroll through the catalog to the desired object. • Pressing any of the catalog keys (M, CALD , NGC, or ST AR) will displa y a blinking cursor below the name of the catalog chosen.
15 EQ Nor th Used to track the sky when the telescope is polar aligned using an equatorial wedge in the Nor ther n Hemisphere. This option is not used with the StarSeeker series of telescopes. EQ South Used to track the sky when the telescope is polar aligned using an equatorial wedge in the Souther n Hemisphere.
16 Scope Setup Features Setup Time-Site - Allows the user to customize the StarSeeker displa y by changing time and location parameters (such as time zone and da ylight savings). Anti-backlash - All mechanical gears hav e a cer tain amount of backlash or play between the gears.
17 1. Select Hiber nate from the Utility Menu. 2 . Mov e the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER. 3. P ower off the telescope. Remember to ne ver mov e your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode. Once the telescope is po wered on again the displa y wil l read W ak e Up .
18 T o conv er t degrees to feet at 1,000 y ards, which is more use- ful f or terrestr ial observing, simply multiply by 52.5. Continuing with our e xample, multiply the angular field 2.2° by 52.5. This produces a linear field width of 115.5 f eet at a distance of one thousand yards .
19 side our own Milky Way . M os t d e ep sky objects hav e a large angular size . Theref ore, low-to-moderate power is all you need to see them. Visually , they are too faint to re veal any of the color seen in long e xposure photographs . Instead, they appear blac k and white.
20 and 130mm, howe v er, ha ve collimation screws that can be used to adjust the alignment of the primar y mirror . T o chec k if your telescope is in collimation ref er to figure 6-1. If you look into the ey epiece adapter (without an eyepiece) at the top of the f ocuser , this is what you should see.

23 Appendix A - GLOSSAR Y OF TERMS A- Absolute magnitude: The apparent magnitude that a star would have if it were observed from a standard distance of 10 parsecs, or 32.6 light-years. The absolute mag - nitude of the Sun is 4.8. at a distance of 10 parsecs, it would just be visible on Ear th on a clear moonless night aw ay from surf ace light.
24 e xpressed on a magnitude scale, is -26.78. The zero point of the apparent magnitude scale is arbitrary . Meridian: A reference line in the sky that star ts at the Nor th celestial pole and ends at the South celestial pole and passes through the zenith.
25 Resolution: The minimum detectable angle an optical sys - tem can detect. Because of diffr action, there is a limit to the minimum angle , resolution.
