How Do You Attach The Smartfinder To Your Meade DS-2000 Series Reflecting Telescope?
The Smartfinder or LNT Module provides an easier way to initially sight objects than the main telescope eyepiece, which has a narrower field of view. You may blink the red dot off and on. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, thread the two attachment screws in the bracket into the mating threads located on the optical tube. Peel back the film from just the tongue of the SmartFinder lens. Insert the tongue into the SmartFinder slot. Angle the tongue towards the front of the LNT module as you slide it into place. You may need to wiggle the lens/tongue a bit to slide the tongue into place. You will hear it “click” in place. Notice that the tongue has slid in over the small plastic molded post. Remove the remainder of the plastic film from the lens.
