Enjoying Your New Telescope 1. First determine your targeted object. Any bright object in the night sky is a good starting point. One of the favorites in astronomy is the moon. This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. 2.
Where do I start? Your Bushnell telescope can bring the wonders of the universe to your eye. While this manual is intended to assist you in the set-up and basic use of this instrument, it does not cover everything you might like to know about astronomy. The first thing you need to do is get a very simple star chart and a flashlight with a red bulb or red cellophane over the end. For objects other than stars and constellations, a basic guide to astronomy is a must.
ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. The image I see in the telescope is upside down? • An upside-down image is a common characteristic of most astronomical telescopes. However, as described above, the ZOOM Eyepiece will provide erect images allowing objects that you see to be right-side-up. 2. How do I determine the power my telescope? • The power of your telescope can be determined by dividing the focal length of the objective lens by the focal length of the eyepiece.
