HOW TO USE YOUR NEW TELESCOPE Astronomical telescopes are designed such that the image you see will appear UPSIDE DOWN and REVERSED, this is acceptable for viewing celestial bodies. However, this special telescope offers an Erect Image Eyepiece which will deliver a 30x view that will NOT BE UPSIDE DOWN or REVERSED. This 30x eyepiece is recommended for viewing either land or night sky based objects. Using your Eyepieces: 1.
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 favorite starting points 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 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. Some recommended sources appear on our website at www.
ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. The image I see in the telescope appears tilted • This is natural and due to the position of the eye when using the 30x Erect Image Eyepiece in relation to the telescope tube.
