Tele Vue QBT-1006 User Manual

(QBT-1006) QWIK-POINT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN. INSTANT AND PERMANENT DAM­AGE TO YOUR EYES WILL OCCUR.
INTRODUCTION & USE
Qwik-Point uses a beam splitting mirror/lens to combine the scene through the lens
with a red dot projected by it. The red dot indicates where your telescope is
pointed. To aim you telescope with Qwik-Point, view the de-
sired object with both eyes. Do not close one. You can also be any distance behind Qwik-Point. Swing your scope toward the object, allowing one eye to look through the Qwik-Point lens. When Qwik-Point ‘s dot is on the object, look through your scope.
COMPONENTS
The QWIK-POINT unit contains the light source, mirror/lens, on-off switch, battery azimuth and elevation adjustment screws, and clamp screws for the adapter bar.
The adapter bar permits mounting Qwik-Point on a variety of scopes.
MOUNTING
Loosen clamp screws on Qwik-Point and slide the adapter out toward the back of the unit.
For Tele Vue Ring Mounts use one or two #10-32 socket head cap screws for mounting. Ranger models with slotted rear housings require one #10-32 screw and Ranger models with just a threaded hole in the rear housing requires a #6-32 button head screw ½” long.
For telescopes with different radius tubes, file or sandpaper the adapter bot­tom concave to match the tube shape and cement (contact cement) or screw the adapter to the tube.
Additional adapters (QPA-1004) may be purchased.
ALIGNMENT
With a low power eyepiece in the scope, find a suitable alignment sub­ject and place it in the center of the field. With a Phillips head screw
driver, turn the horizontal and vertical adjustment
screws until Qwik-Point ‘s red dot is pointed to
the subject. Your scope and Qwik­Point are now aligned. If you remove
Qwik-Point, check the alignment upon
reinstallation.
CARE
To replace the 3V lithium battery: slide out the battery and install a new battery with the (+) face down.
Clean the lens by blowing dust off with a puffer brush. Remove grease with a cotton swab moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
