Observing with your Spotting Scope Rotate the zoom eyepiece (see below) to its lowest power (15x for the 50 mm spotter and 20x for the 60 mm) as it will be easier to locate the object you want to observe. You can rotate the magnification ring around the zoom eyepiece to change the power level of the spotting scope. Refocus as needed. The brightest and widest field of view will always be at the lowest power. Focusing To focus, slowly rotate the focuser knob until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp. Refocusing is usually required if the power is changed. If you feel the focus knob no longer moves any further (in either direction), then you have reached the end of the travel range - don't try to force it to go further but you should refocus by turning in the opposite direction. Once an image is in focus, turn the knob counterclockwise to focus on a closer object and clockwise for a more distant object. Photography with Digital Cameras You can use a digital camera to take photos with your spotting scope. Celestron offers a Universal Digital Camera Adapter (Model # 93626) which makes it easy to attach a digital camera to your spotting scope. Follow your cameras instructions for exposure information, etc. You will have to experiment to get the settings correct. Maintenance To protect your spotting scope when not being used, put on all lens covers to keep the optics clean and then put the scope in the soft carrying case and then in the aluminum case. If your optics need cleaning, use an optics cleaning kit and follow the instructions.
