How To Set Up Assembly: Note: We recommend assembling your telescope for the first time in the daylight or in a lit room so that you can familiarize yourself with assembly steps and all components. 1. General Information regarding Assembly, Positioning Before beginning with the assembly, choose a suitable position for your telescope. It will help if you assemble this apparatus at a spot from where you have a clear view of the sky, a sturdy surface beneath you, and enough space.
Telescope Terms To Know: Diagonal: A mirror that deflects the ray of light 90 degrees. With a horizontal telescope tube, this device deflects the light upwards so that you can comfortably observe by looking downwards into the eyepiece. The image in a diagonal mirror appears upright, but rotated around its vertical axis (mirror image). Focal length: Everything that magnifies an object via an optic lens has a certain focal length.
• Point the eyepiece at an easy to identify target like a telephone pole that is approximately 200 yards away. Center the object in the eyepiece. Lock the telescope into place by tightening the panhandle. • Without moving the telescope, position the red dot using the two adjustment screws so that it shares the same view as the one in your eyepiece. The front screw will move the viewfinder up and down, and the other will move it side to side. Your viewfinder is now aligned.
The Moon The Moon Diameter: 3,476 km f=26 mm f=9.7 mm Distance: Approximately 384,401 km The Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite, and it is the second brightest object in the sky (after the Sun). Although it is our closest neighbor, a lot of people have never really taken a good long like at the Moon. With your telescope, you should be able to see several interesting lunar features. These include lunar maria, which appear as vast plains, and some of the larger craters.
Troubleshooting Guide: Problem Solution No picture Remove dust protection cap and sun-shield from the objective opening. Blurred picture Adjust focus using focus ring. No focus possible Wait for temperature to balance out. Bad quality Never observe through a glass s urface such as a window.
