Hello,
As Bill said, it can be used without at scope in most cases (sun, moon, planets, bright stars). At least I do it that may. I own an identical instrument. However, what is weird/wrong is the "PLATH-Hamburg" plate. At that position a repair/modification plate had been installed.
Regards, Werner
