Instruction Manual StarNa vigator ™ Series Reflecting and Refracting T elescopes with A udiostar ™ MEADE.COM.
Refracting T elescopes use a large objective lens as their primary light-collecting element. Meade refractors, in all models and apertures, include achromatic (2-element) objective lenses in order to reduce or vir tually eliminate the false colour (chromatic aberration) that results in the telescopic image when light passes through a lens.

Celestial Coordinates It is helpful to understand how to locate celestial objects as they mo ve across the sky . A celestial coordinate system was created that maps an imaginar y sphere surrounding the Earth upon which all stars appear to be placed. This mapping system is similar to the system of latitude and longitude on Ear th surface maps .
