Instruções de operação

Operating your SV106 guidescope involves focusing and ensuring proper alignment with your main telescope.

Focando:

The helical focuser allows for precise adjustments. Use the coarse adjustment for initial focus and the fine adjustment for critical sharpness. The 0.05mm scale ensures accurate and repeatable focus settings.
