[. . . ] EZ FinderTM Reflex Sight #7084 The EZ Finder reflex sight makes pointing your telescope almost as easy as pointing your finger!It's a nonmagnifying aiming device that superimposes an image of a tiny night-vision red dot on the sky, showing exactly where the telescope is pointed. You keep both eyes open when looking through EZ Finder, which makes it easy to compare the view through the sight with the wider naked-eye view. [. . . ] Alignment of EZ Finder should be done during twilight hours before going out to view for the first time. Aim the telescope at a distant object such as a telephone pole or roof chimney and center it in the telescope's eyepiece. Hopefully, the object will appear in the field of view near the center dot. Now, without moving the main telescope, you'll use EZ Finder's azimuth (left/right) and altitude (up/down) adjustment controls to center the red dot on the object. Left/right movement is controlled by the Phillips-head screw located on the side opposite the On/Of switch. Up/down movement is controlled by the Phillips-head screw at the rear of the unit (see diagram). When the red dot is centered on the distant object, check to make sure the object is still centered in the telescope's field of view. When the object is centered in both fields of view, EZ Finder is properly aligned with the telescope. Once aligned the first time, EZ Finder will usually hold its alignment even after being removed and remounted on the dovetail base. Otherwise, only minimal realignment will be needed. Parts List 1 EZ Finder reflex sight with 3-volt lithium battery 1 Dovetail mounting base 1 Double-sided foam tape 2 3/8" flathead 6-32 bolts 2 3/4" flathead 6-32 bolts 2 Lock washers 2 Hex nuts Installation First, open the box and make sure all the parts are present. The base can be attached to the telescope tube with the double-sided foam tape (recommended for refractors) or with two bolts. For your convenience, we have provided two pairs of bolts of different lengths to fit most telescope tubes. The longer (3/4") bolts work well with Sonotube optical tubes, while the shorter (3/8") bolts are best suited for thinner (metal) tubes. To drill the holes in the tube, use the drill template (illustration) of the base at the left. Lay the template on the telescope tube so that the long axis of the base is parallel to the long axis of the telescope tube. Poke a pencil point through the center of each hole, marking its position on the tube. [. . . ] Remove the old battery by sliding it forward from under the retaining clip. Slide a new battery under the retaining clip with the positive side (+) facing out. Using EZ Finder on Two or More Telescopes Extra dovetail mounting bases (#7099) are available for an economical price, allowing one EZ Finder sight to be used alternately on more than one telescope.
