Using the Spotter Scope

The scope is mounted on a ‘pan and tilt’ head. 

 

If the scope is moved without using the head properly it may become loose,

so please follow the instructions below.

​

The tripod height can be adjusted using the clamps on the legs.

​

It’s often easier to find an object on low power and then zoom in if you want

​

​

 

     Zoom: twist the eyepiece clockwise and anti-clockwise to zoom in and out.

                  Please don’t use too much force – this could unscrew the eyepiece from the scope

​

    Focus: twist the large rubber ring on the barrel of the scope.

                 You will probably need to adjust the focus if you change the magnification

 

    To pan the scope horizontally: loosen the knurled knob on the side of the mount.

                 Tighten again to steady the scope if needed.

 

    To tilt the scope vertically: twist the handle which lies under the eyepiece to loosen. 

                 Tighten again to steady the scope if needed.
