4. Optical tube/Main tube clamp/Fastening screw

These spotting scope have a main tube clamp and fastening screw. Turn screw counter-clockwise to undo the main tube clamp. You can turn the entire main tube about its own axis and thus vary the eyepiece position. To fastern the main tube in the desired position turn the fastening screw clockwise.

Terrestrial Observing

When viewing land objects, you will be observing through heat waves on the earth surface. You may have noticed these heat waves while driving down a highway during the summer. Heat waves cause a loss of image quality.

If heat waves interfere with your viewing, try focusing at low power to see a steadier, higher quality imag. Observe in early morning hours, before the earth has bulit up too much internal heat.
