tighten the thumbscrew to secure it. Adjust the helical focuser by holding between the thumb and fore finger and rotating in either direction.

After the SolarMax II telescope is pointed at the Sun and the image has been focused, move the RichView tuning lever up or down slowly while looking at the image in the eyepiece to get the most detail and contrast. Surface details will generally require one setting, while prominences will require a different setting for maximum detail. Tuning SolarMax II Double Stack 90 with RichView Tuning System - With a double stack system, follow this procedure for best results: After the SolarMax II telescope is pointed at the Sun and the image has been focused, move the RichView tuning lever on the telescope up or down slowly while looking at the image in the eyepiece to get the most detail and contrast. Now adjust the tilt of the external Etalon on the front of the telescope with the TMax thumb wheel to achieve the brightest image while eliminating any reflections. Finally, adjust the RichView tuning ring on the external Etalon to get the most detail and contrast for the feature you are viewing. Because double stacked systems operate at a very narrow band pass of only 0.5 Angstroms or less, more tuning is needed for different areas and features on the Sun. the bandpass to
