With your telescope set up, you are ready to use it for observing. This section covers visual observing hints for solar
system and deep sky objects as well as general observing conditions which will affect your ability to observe.

Lunar Observing Hints
To increase contrast and bring out detail on the lunar surface, use optional filters. A yellow filter works well at
improving contrast while a neutral density or polarizing filter will reduce overall surface brightness and glare.

Other fascinating targets include the five naked eye planets. You can see
Venus go through its lunar-like phases. Mars can reveal a host of surface
detail and one, if not both, of its polar caps. You may be able to see the cloud
belts of Jupiter and the great Red Spot (if it is visible at the time you are
observing). In addition, you will also be able to see the moons of Jupiter as
they orbit the giant planet. Saturn, with its beautiful rings, is e visible at
moderate power
.
Planetary Observing Hints
Remember that atmospheric conditions are usually the limiting factor on how much planetary detail will be
•
visible. So, avoid observing the planets when they are low on the horizon or when they are directly over a
source of radiating heat, such as a rooftop or chimney. See the "Seeing Conditions" section later in this section.
To increase contrast and bring out detail on the planetary surface, try using Celestron eyepiece filters.

Although overlooked by many amateur astronomers, solar observation is both rewarding and fun. However,
because the Sun is so bright, special precautions must be taken when observing our star so as not to damage your
eyes or your telescope.
For safe solar viewing, use a proper solar filter that reduces the intensity of the Sun's light, making it safe to view.
With a filter you can see sunspots as they move across the solar disk and faculae, which are bright patches seen near
the Sun's edge.
The best time to observe the Sun is in the early morning or late afternoon when the air is cooler.

Often, it is tempting to look at the Moon when it is full. At this time, the
face we see is fully illuminated and its light can be overpowering. In
addition, little or no contrast can be seen during this phase.
One of the best times to observe the Moon is during its partial phases
(around the time of first or third quarter). Long shadows reveal a great
amount of detail on the lunar surface. At low power you will be able to
see most of the lunar disk at one time. Change to optional eyepieces for
higher power (magnification) to focus in on a smaller area.
