USING THE TELESCOPE CONT.
•
Aim
the
tubeless
optical
assembly
at
your
desired
target
by
rotating
the
azimuth
position
left
or
right.
Look
through
the
eyepiece
at
the
desired
target,
and
make
altitude
adjustments
by
moving
the
tube-
less
optical
assembly
vertically
by
hand.
When
the
altitude
direction
is
aligned,
you
may
retighten
the
altitude
lock
knob.
•
Once
the
object
is
centered
in
the
field
of
view,
turn
the
focuser
until
the
image
is
clear
and
sharp.
•
For
best
results,
position
your
eye
as
close
as
possible
to
the
eyepiece
lens.
This
is
especially
important
when
using
the
higher
power
10mm
eyepiece.
•
Replace
dust
cover
on
primary
mirror
when
not
in
use.
There
are
many
conditions
that
may
affect
your
ability
to
focus
or
observe celestial objects clearly.
•
Brightly
lit
areas
(light
pollution)
will
make
it
difficult
to
see
faint
objects
in
the
sky.
It
will
also
make
it
difficult
for
your
eyes
to
adjust
to
the
dark.
You
should
try
and
find
a
dark
area
and
allow
your
eyes
to
adjust
to
the
dark
before
making
observations.
Using
a
red
filtered
flashlight
to
view
charts
and
your
telescope
components
is
recom-
mended
to
preserve
your
night
sight.
The
best
viewing
conditions
are
when
the
sky
is
inky
black.
•
Hazy
skies,
pollution,
clouds
and
moisture
can
all
affect
the
clarity
of
your
viewing
image.
•
Due
to
the
tubeless
construction
of
this
telescope,
the
primary
and
secondary
mirrors
are
exposed
to
possible
dust,
debris
and
finger-
prints.
Be
careful
to
avoid
touching
these
mirrors
and
exposing
them
to
excessive
debris.
Refer
to
the
Care
and
Maintenance
section
of
this
manual
for
instructions
on
how
to
clean
your
telescope.
Always
replace
the
dust
cover
over
primary
mirror
when
not
in
use.
•
Avoid
touching
the
eyepiece
or
optical
assembly
while
looking
through
the
telescope.
The
vibrations
caused
by
this
contact
will
cause
the
object
you
are
looking
at
to
move.
You
should
also
make
sure
that
the
surface
you
place
your
telescope
on
does
not
vibrate
or
move
as
this
will
also
cause
your
viewing
object
to
move.
•
You
should
avoid
setting
up
your
telescope
inside
a
room
looking
through
an
open
window.
The
difference
in
air
temperatures
may
result in a blurry image.
