1 INTRODUCTION Y our telesc ope is an e xc ell ent beginner’ s instrument, and is designed to observe objects in the sky and also on land. It can be your personal window on the univ erse or allows y ou to intimatel y study the behavior of nesting bir ds on a dist ant hillside.

Fig. 4 1. Note the two thumbscr ews (25) thr eaded onto two bolts on the optical tube. Remove the thumbscr e ws fr om the tube. 2. Line up the two hol es on the r ed dot viewfinder brack et over the tw o bolts. Slide the brack et over the bolts. See Fig.
3. Check this alignment at night on a cel estial object, such as the Moon or a bright star, and use the r ed dot viewfinder’ s alignment screws to mak e any neces sary refinements.
OBSERVING Observe during the daytime : T ry out your tel escope during the daytime at first. It is easier t o learn ho w it operates and how t o observe when it is light. Pick out an easy object to observe : A distant mountain, a lar ge tree, a lighthouse or skyscraper mak e excell ent tar gets.
observation of lunar f eatur es. Spend several nights observing the Moon. Some nights, the Moon is so bright that it makes other objects in the sky difficult to see.
Any small tel escope can see the four Galilean moons of Jupit er ( Fig. 5 ), plus a few other s, but how many moons does Jupiter actuall y have? No one knows for sur e! Nor are we sur e how many Saturn has either . At last count, Jupiter had o ver 60 moons, and held a small lead o ver Saturn.
spiral (lik e our galaxy, the Milky Way) and other galaxies look mor e like a lar ge football and ar e called elliptical galaxies. Ther e are many galaxies that ar e irregularl y shaped and ar e thought to have been pulled apart because they pas sed too close to—or ev en thr ough—a larger galaxy .
Fig. 6 By the way, you might have notic ed something strange when y ou look ed thr ough your eyepiece. Although the image is right-side up, it is r eversed.
Let your ey es “dark-adapt:” Allow fiv e or ten minutes f or your eyes to bec ome “dark adapted” befor e observing. Use a red- filter ed flashlight to prot ect your night vision when r eading star maps, or inspecting the tel escope.
The foc al ratio helps determine how fast the photographic speed of a tel escope is. The low er the focal ratio number, the f aster the exposur e. f/5 is fast er than f/10. The fas ter the ratio, the f aster e xposure time is needed when a camera is hook ed up to the tel escope.
Eyepiece’ s magnification x 2 = Magnification with a 2X Barl ow lens Y our 25mm low-pow er eyepiece magnifies an object 28 times. Multiply 28 by 2 and y ou get 56 times magnification with your Barl ow . It’ s worth repeating: Keep in mind that a bright, clear, but small er image is more inter esting than a larger, dimmer, fuzzy one.
