Управљање телескопом

The ExploraScope 80AZ features a manual alt-azimuth mount with a panning handle and clutch for smooth and accurate pointing. This allows you to move the telescope up/down and left/right to track objects.

Using the StarPointer Finderscope

The StarPointer red dot finderscope helps you quickly locate objects in the sky. Look through the finderscope and align the red dot with your target. Once aligned, the object should be visible in your telescope's eyepiece.

Промена увећања

Your telescope comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm) and a 3x Barlow lens. The 20mm eyepiece provides lower magnification and a wider field of view, ideal for locating objects. The 4mm eyepiece offers higher magnification for detailed views. The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnification of any eyepiece it's used with.

Daytime Observations

Thanks to the 90° erect image diagonal, your ExploraScope 80AZ can also be used for daytime observations of birds, wildlife, and distant landscapes. The erect image diagonal ensures that images are correctly oriented (not inverted or reversed).

Одржавање

Правилна нега ће продужити век трајања и перформансе вашег телескопа:

• Чишћење оптике: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and specialized optical cleaning fluid. Avoid touching optical surfaces with bare hands.
• Складиштење: Store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. Keep lens caps on when not in use to protect the optics.
• Механички делови: Periodically check all screws and knobs for tightness. Do not overtighten.

Решавање проблема

Ако наиђете на проблеме, размотрите следеће:

• Замућене слике: Ensure the focuser is properly adjusted. Check if the eyepiece is securely seated. Atmospheric conditions can also affect image clarity.
• Cannot Find Objects: Verify that the finderscope is aligned with the main telescope. Start with the lowest magnification eyepiece (20mm) to locate objects.
• Image is Upside Down/Reversed: За астрономске viewing, this is normal. For terrestrial viewing, ensure the erect image diagonal is correctly installed.
