USING THE BARLOW LENS
AS STATED EARLIER IN THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE BARLOW LENS INCREASES THE
POWER OF THE EYEPIECES BY 3 TIMES.
TO USE SIMPLY INSERT THE BARLOW LENS INTO THE MAIN FOCUSING TUBE AND
THEN PUT THE DESIRED EYEPIECE INTO THE RECEIVING END OF THE BARLOW
LENS
PLEASE REMEMBER, THE HIGHER THE POWER YOU USE THE DARKER THE IMAGE
WILL APPEAR.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR TELESCOPE
TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW TELESCOPE. LEARN THE
NAMES OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED AND THEIR
FUNCTION. IT IS BEST TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.
WHEN SETTING UP FOR A VIEWING SESSION, PLACE THE TELESCOPE IN AN AREA
SHELTERED FROM THE WIND IF POSSIBLE. THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE
AWAY FROM CITY LIGHT AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN TO JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONS
ARE GOOD. LOOK FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE
OR NO TWINKLING.
USE LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND
BRIGHTER IMAGE. RESERVE YOUR HIGHER POWERS FOR THOSE NIGHTS WHEN
VIEWING CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.
