How To Set Up 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. • Open the tripod until the tripod spreaders are fully extended. Put the accessory tray in place and turn it clockwise until stable. To set the tripod height, turn the pressure fitting on each leg counterclockwise until loose. Extend or retract the leg to the desired setting, then tighten the pressure fitting until snug.
Fig 1. 1) 200yds = 2) 3) 2a) = = 2b) = Using Your Telescope: After you have aligned your viewfinder, you are ready to start observing! Put the 26mm eyepiece into the focuser to get the widest field of view. This wider field of view will make it easier to locate and track objects. Use the panhandle to move the scope up, down and side to side until your target comes into view in the eyepiece.
Observing Tips: Star hopping Star hopping is a technique used by amateur astronomers to navigate the night sky. By using easily recognizable constellations and asterisms as a guide, an observer can locate stars and other objects. For example, Polaris, which is commonly referred to as The North Star, can be located quickly using star hopping. First, find the Big Dipper asterism in the Ursa Major constellation.
Orion Nebula(M42): Right ascension: 05: 35.4 (hours: minutes) Declination: -05: 27 (degrees: minutes) Distance: Approximately 1,344 light years The Orion Nebula is a vast star-forming region located in the “sword” branching off of the famous Orion’s Belt. Also known as Messier 42, this diffuse nebula is bright enough to see with the unaided eye — although it will only appear as a slightly foggy star.
Types Of Telescopes: Focuser Light Primary Mirror (Objective) Secondary Mirror Light Reflector A reflector telescope uses mirrors to gather and focus light. Light enters the telescope through its open front end and travels to the concave primary mirror at the back. From there the light is reflected back up the tube to a flat secondary mirror, which sits at a 45° angle in relation to the eyepiece. Light bounces off of this secondary mirror and out through the eyepiece.
Telescope Terms to Know: Objective Lens Eyepiece Focuser Focal Length Eyepiece (mm) Aperture (mm) Diagonal Focal Point Focal Length Telescope (mm) Eyepiece Focuser Aperture (mm) Focal Length Eyepiece (mm) Focal Point Primary Mirror (Objective) Secondary Mirror Focal Length Telescope (mm) Aperture: This figure, which is usually expressed in millimeters, is the diameter of a telescope’s light-gathering surface (objective lens in a refractor or primary mirror in a reflector).
Aperture 102mm Eyepiece Focal Length 20mm Telescope Focal Length 1000mm Magnification: The magnification corresponds to the difference between observation with the naked eye and observation through a magnifying device like a telescope. If a telescope configuration has a magnification of 30x, then an object viewed through the telescope will appear 30 times larger than it would with the naked eye.
Short Eye Relief Distance Long Eye Relief Distance Eyepiece Lens Eyepiece Lens Eye Relief Eye relief is all about a comfortable viewing experience because it is the distance at which you need to position your eye from the eyepiece’s outermost surface to enjoy the full field of view. This characteristic is of special concern to observers who wear glasses to correct an astigmatism, because a long enough eye relief is necessary to allow room Barlow Lens for glasses.
