SOLAR WARNING

Even though your EclipSmart telescope is equipped with ISO certiﬁed solar ﬁlters that allow safe direct observation of the

Sun, there are still some important rules you should follow when solar observing:

• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope unless you have the proper solar ﬁlter.

Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.

• Never use a telescope to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the

telescope and any accessories attached to it.

• Never use an eyepiece solar ﬁlter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause

these devices to crack or break, allowing unﬁltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.

• Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially when children or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating

procedures of your telescope are present.

We recommend saving your telescope box so it can be used to store the telescope when it is not in use. Unpack the box

carefully as some parts are small. Use the parts list below to verify that all parts and accessories are present.

ASSEMBLING YOUR TELESCOPE

THE MOUNT & TRIPOD

The tripod and mount come preassembled so the setup is very easy:

1. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs outward until the tripod’s center leg brace slides down to the

bottom of the center column.

2. You can extend the tripod legs to the height you desire. The lowest setting of 16 inches is perfect for tabletop use,

while the fully extended height is 43 inches. To change the height, pull open the three leg clamp levers on each leg. Pull

the legs out to the desired length and press the clamp levers closed.

3. Your tripod also has an extendable center column, allowing you to raise the mount up to another 6 inches. Turn the

center column locking knob counterclockwise until the column is unlocked. Pull the mount head upward until you are

at the desired height and turn the center column lock knob clockwise to lock the column in place. With the legs fully

extended the mount will now be 49 inches tall.

THE TELESCOPE TUBE

The tripod and mount come preassembled so the setup is very easy:

1. Loosen the platform tilt knob by turning it counterclockwise. This

allows you to tilt the telescope mounting platform 90° to the right

to the vertical position, allowing for easy access of the mounting

knob underneath the platform. Tighten the tilt knob to secure the

platform in place.

2. Locate the 1/4-20 threaded hole in the plate on the bottom of the

telescope tube. Place it over the threaded bolt on the mounting

platform and tighten the knob by turning it clockwise until it is

ﬁnger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

3. With the telescope now attached to the mount, loosen the

platform tilt knob and rotate the platform to the left 90 degrees

to its original horizontal position. Tighten the tilt knob to secure

the platform in place.

THE STAR DIAGONAL

The star diagonal is a mirror that diverts the light at a right angle to the light path of the telescope. This allows you

to observe in a position that is more comfortable than if you had to look straight through. When looking through the

eyepiece, the image will appear to be correctly oriented up and down, but will be mirror reversed left to right. This is

perfectly normal.

To install the diagonal:

1. Remove the cap from the focuser of the telescope by turning the silver

set screws counterclockwise until they are no longer protruding into

the focuser tube.

2. Remove the caps from both ends of the star diagonal.

3. Insert the silver barrel of the star diagonal into the focuser tube.

THE EYEPIECES

Your EclipSmart telescope comes with one high quality 20 mm eyepiece that will give you 18x magniﬁcation and

a 2-degree ﬁeld of view. This is a perfect magniﬁcation for watching the phases of a solar eclipse or just looking at

sunspots at any time. You can increase the magniﬁcation by using optional eyepieces with focal lengths shorter

than 20 mm. Your scope can accept any industry-standard 1.25 inches diameter eyepiece between 5 mm and

32 mm focal length.

To install an eyepiece:

1. Loosen the setscrews on the open end of the star diagonal.

2. Insert the silver barrel of the 20 mm eyepiece into the diagonal.

3. Tighten the setscrews to secure the eyepiece.

FOCUSING

When you ﬁrst look through the telescope at the Sun, the mage will likely be blurry.

To bring the image to a sharp focus:

1. Look at the Sun through the 20 mm eyepiece.

2. Turn the focus knob located under the back and forth until the edge

of the Sun is as sharp as possible.

If observing with a group of people, each person viewing through

the telescope should focus the image for their own eyes. If you use

additional eyepieces to increase magniﬁcation, you should readjust the

focus each time you switch eyepieces. Focus Knob

MOVING THE TELESCOPE

The photo-style altazimuth mount is simple to use. To move the scope left and right, loosen the azimuth tension knob at

the base of the mount. Hold one of the tripod with one hand and grab the panning handle with the other. Move the scope

to the desired location. You can adjust the tension of the left and right motion by adjusting the tightness of the azimuth

tension knob.

To move the scope up and down, loosen the altitude clutch by turning the

entire panning handle counter-clockwise. Move the handle up or down as

required and turn the handle clockwise to lock the scope on target.

NOTE: When observing, the Sun will appear to slowly drift in your field of view. This is perfectly normal and is caused

by the Earth’s rotation. You will need to re-center the Sun in your field of view every couple of minutes. If you use

any optional higher magnification eyepieces, the drift will become more apparent and you will need to readjust

the telescope’s position more often to keep it in the field of view.

THE SOLAR FINDERSCOPE

The EclipSmart telescope comes with a 100% safe solar ﬁnderscope that allows you to align your telescope without

looking directly at the Sun. The ﬁnderscope is already installed and is ready for use.

To use this ﬁnder:

1. Point the telescope in the general direction of the Sun.

2. Look at the large round bulls-eye pattern on the sunlit side of the ﬁnderscope.

3. Adjust the position of the telescope until the shadow of the ball at the end of the projection arm is within the innermost

circle of the bulls-eye pattern.

4. This Sun should appear somewhere in the ﬁeld of view of your 20 mm eyepiece, but may not be perfectly centered.

Looking through the eyepiece, adjust the position of the telescope until the Sun is centered. If the Sun is not visible

in the eyepiece, put the shadow of the projection arm over the innermost ring and slowly search in a circular pattern until

you see the sun in the eyepiece.

OBSERVING THE SUN

SOLAR ECLIPSES

Solar eclipses occur somewhere on Earth at least twice a year. There are two kinds of eclipses – partial and total.

A partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun and the Moon block part

of the Sun’s light. If the Moon happens to be near the far point of its orbit from Earth, a very special form of a partial eclipse

occurs, called an annular eclipse. In an annular eclipse, the Moon will block out most of the Sun’s disk, but leaves a

small ring (or annulus) of sunlight surrounding the Moon.

A total eclipse occurs when the moon is close enough to the Earth in its orbit so that it blocks the entire disk of the Sun from

view. The partial phases of a total solar eclipse leading up to totality are incredible to watch. The Moon will ﬁrst appear

as a small dark dent in the edge of the Sun, growing to a large bite. If you are in the path of totality, the Sun will eventually

become a thin crescent and will disappear completely. For a couple of minutes, daytime turns to deep twilight and bright

stars and planets are visible in the daytime sky. After totality, the process reverses itself as the Sun reemerges from behind

the Moon. It is a sight that should not be missed.

SUNSPOTS

Sunspots are dark spots that appear on the photosphere, or visible “surface” of the Sun. They usually have a dark

core, called the umbra, surrounded by a lighter border, called the penumbra. They form when large disturbances in

the Sun’s magnetic ﬁeld cool portions of the photosphere. Sunspots are relatively cool, being only 6000°F (3300°C)

compared to the normal 10,000°F (5500°C) of the rest of the photosphere. Although these spots appear to be almost

black, they are actually quite bright. If it were possible to remove a sunspot from the Sun and put it in the night sky, it

would shine brighter than the full moon. They only appears to be “dark” when compared to the rest of the photosphere.

Sunspots can be big. Very big. They can range in size from 10 to 100,000 miles (16 to 160,000 km) in diameter. To put that

into perspective, the Earth is only 8,000 miles (12,800 km) in diameter! Compare sunspot sizes to the relative size of the

Earth in the image below in order to better grasp the immense size of the Sun and share that WOW factor with neighbors,

friends, and family.

Sunspots usually appear in pairs but can also appear in very large groups. They can last from a few days to several

weeks and can change their shape, size and number as they slowly rotate across the face of the Sun. It will take about two

weeks for a sunspot group to cross the Sun. Try looking at the Sun every day and draw a picture of what you see. At the

end of the week, compare your drawings and you’ll see how sunspots evolve.

PLANETARY TRANSIT

Planetary transits occur when the planet Mercury or Venus pass between the Sun and Earth allowing observers on

Earth to track the planet’s dark disk as it crosses the face of the Sun. This is an extremely rare event, occurring only four

times over the next 50 years.

LIMB DARKENING

When viewing the Sun’s disk, look for a falloff of brightness as you look from the center of the disk to the edge, or limb.

This is caused by the thick solar corona, or outer atmosphere of the Sun. As you look at the center of the solar disk, you

are looking straight down through the least amount of atmosphere. As you look near the limb, you are looking through a

thicker layer, which dims the amount of light shining through.
