PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE EYEPIECES AND ACCESSORIES IS IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO
ASSURE EASY OPERATIONS AND CLEAR VIEWING.
PLEASE USE THE ACCESSORIES IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER. BY DOING THIS, YOU WILL
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT EACH INDIVIDUAL ACCESSORY HAS ON THE FUNCTION
OF YOUR TELESCOPE.
1) FOCUSING TUBE
TURN
TELESCOPE UNTIL IT WILL NOT GO FURTHER.
TO FOCUS BEGIN TO TURN THE FOCUSING
KNOBS TOWARD YOUR BODY, SLOWLY, UNTIL
THE IMAGE IS CLEAR. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE
AN EYEPIECE AND DIAGONAL INSERTED IN
ORDER
2) DIAGONAL MIRROR
INSERT THE DIAGONAL MIRROR INTO THE
FOCUSING HOUSING.
3) EYEPIECE INSERTION
AFTER THE DIAGONAL IS INSERTED, PLACE
THE EYEPIECE (20MM) INTO THE DIAGONAL
MIRROR. THE LOWER THE NUMBER ON THE
EYEPIECE, THE HIGHER THE POWER YOUR
TELESCOPE
DECREASE THE FIELD OF VIEW AND THE
BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR IMAGE. WHEN USING
EYEPIECES, WE SUGGEST ALWAYS STARTING
WITH THE LOWEST POWER AND THEN GOING
UP.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR TELESCOPE
TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW TELESCOPE. LEARN THE
NAMES OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED AND THEIR FUNCTION. IT
IS THE BEST TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.
WHEN SETTING UP FOR A VIEWING SESSION, PLACE THE TELESCOPE IN AN AREA
SHELTERED FROM THE WIND IF POSSIBLE. THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE
AWAY FROM CITY LIGHT AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN TO JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONS
ARE GOOD. LOOK FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE
OR NO TWINKLING.
USE LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND BRIGHTER
IMAGE. RESERVE YOUR HIGH POWERS FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE VIEWING
CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.
