FINDING OBJECTS AND FOCUSING

Follow your telescope owners manual to learn how to find objects 

and use the telescope. Once an object you wish to take a picture of 

is located follow the below steps.

1.  Open up a camera app on your cell phone. This is the same 

camera app you use everyday to take pictures.

2.  The target should appear in the camera field of view but may 

be out of focus. Turn the telescopes focusing knobs to bring the 

phone holder into sharp focus.

3.  Take a picture! The picture will be stored in your phones camera 

folder where your other pictures are stored.

4.  When taking pictures, try not to shake the telescope, camera, 

or ground when taking pictures or your images may not be in 

sharp focus.

HINT: 

Use your cameras shutter delay feature to allow you telescope 

to damp down before taking the picture. This feature will add a 

several second delay before the picture is taken and will improve the quality 

of most photos. See your cell phone owners manual for more information.

TIPS & TRICKS

• 

If you have difficulty getting the object in focus, try turning off the auto-

focus feature on your cell phone camera. See your cell phone owners 

manual for more information.

• 

Use your cameras shutter delay feature to allow vibrations in you

information.
