Time Zone settings are needed. However, 
the local time and site info can still be 
manually entered (in case the GPS signal is 
too weak from clouds or buildings). It is 
always recommended to get the GPS 
coordinates before traveling to a new 
observation site.  

1. Always begin viewing with the lowest 
power eyepiece. (Note: a 25 mm focal 
length eyepiece has a lower power than a 9 
mm one.) A formula can be used to 
determine the power of each eyepiece: 
Telescope focal length divided by eyepiece 
focal length equals magnification. Ex. 
1000mm ÷ 25mm = 40X (magnification) 

2. Astronomical telescopes are designed in 
such a way that the image you see may be 
UPSIDE DOWN and REVERSED.  

1. After selecting the desired eyepiece aim 
the telescope tube at a land-based target at 
least 200 yards away (e.g. A telephone pole 
or building). Fully extend focusing tube by 
turning the focus knob. 

2. While looking through selected eyepiece, 
slowly retract focusing tube by turning 
focusing knob until object comes into focus. 

1. Look through Main Telescope Tube and 
establish a well-defined target (see focusing 
telescope section). Tighten all lock knobs 
(Declination, Latitude, Right Ascension, 
Horizontal Axis) so that telescope’s aim is 
not disturbed. 

2. Turn on the red dot finder scope and look 
through the finder window. Adjust the red 
dot alignment screws (one on the side and 
one at the bottom) to center the red dot on 
the object. 

3. Now, objects located with the finder 
scope first will be centered in field of view of 
the main telescope. 

After performing these setups, the mount is 
ready to GOTO and track objects. The most 
common object will be Moon. 

Press MENU button, select “Select and 
Slew” by press ENTER button. Select 
“Planets, Sun, Moon”, and using ▲ or ▼ 
button to select Moon. Press ENTER. The 
telescope will automatically slew to the 
Moon and lock on. Press BACK key to stop 
GOTO. It will automatically begin to track 
once it locks on to it. Use the arrow keys to 
center the Moon in your eyepiece, if it is not 
centered. Press ENTER key to stop the 
tracking. 

A simple alignment/synchronization can be 
performed to improve the GOTO and 
tracking accuracy. To do so, press MENU 
button, scroll down to “Align”, select 
“Solarsys Align” and press ENTER. The 
screen will list Moon, Sun and other planets 
for you to select from. Select an object 
using ▲ or ▼ key. Then press ENTER. The 
mount will slew to the object. Use ◄  ►  ▲ 
or  ▼ key to center the object in your 
eyepiece. Press SPEED button to change 
the slew speed if needed. Then press 
ENTER to complete the alignment. Or press 
the BACK key to cancel the process. 

An alternate way is performing “Sync to 
Target”. To do so, press MENU button, 
select “Select and Slew” and press ENTER. 
Then select a known sky object, such as 
Moon from “Planets, Sun, Moon” menu and 
press ENTER. The mount will slew to the 
Moon. When the mount stopped slewing, 
the Moon could be just inside your eyepiece 
or way off. Press MENU button and scroll 
down the menu to “Sync to Target” and 
press ENTER. Follow the instruction, use ◄ 
► ▲ and ▼ keys to move the Moon in the 
center of your eyepiece and press ENTER.
