How to Work My Bushnell Telescope

For over 50 years, Bushnell has produced high-magnification sporting optics for applications ranging from hunting to star gazing. Their products include telescopes, binoculars, laser range finders and even cameras. Bushnell offers a wide range of telescopes for viewing both land-based and sky objects, under two classes: "Voyager" and "Northstar." The scopes use a mirror technology called "Penta" which eliminates image flipping created by diagonal mirrors, allowing for correct left and right viewing of any object viewed through the scope.

Instructions

    • 1

      Slide the eyepiece directly into the mirror assembly.

    • 2

      Slide the forward end of the mirror assembly onto the back of the focusing tube.

    • 3

      Slide the finderscope into the grooves on the top of the focusing tube, until you hear a click. The finderscope, a small non-diagonal lensed scope, is used to orient the larger focusing tube on the desired focal point. Note that some Bushnell models may not have a finderscope, in which case you can skip this step.

    • 4

      Point the focusing tube at a land-based target at least 200 yards away. Roll the rack-and-pinion knob near the connection point with the tripod and the focusing tube, until the tube is fully extended. Look through the view port and roll the rack-and-pinion knob back, drawing back the focusing tube until the target comes into focus.

    • 5

      Turn the adjustment wheel on the left rear side of the finderscope to align the finderscope with the same target used to focus the scope. Now, objects at the center of the finderscope will also be centered on the main focusing tube. You can now use your Bushnell telescope to view land-based and sky objects.
