CELESTIAL OBSERVING

With your telescope set up, you are ready to use it for observing. This section covers visual observing for
both solar system and deep sky objects.

OBSERVING THE MOON

In the night sky, the Moon is a prime target for your first look because it is extremely bright and easy to
find. Often, it is tempting to look at the Moon when it is full. At this time, the face we see is fully
illuminated and its light can be overpowering. In addition, little or no contrast can be seen during this
phase.

One of the best times to observe the Moon is during its partial phases (around the time of first or third
quarter). Long shadows reveal a great amount of detail on the lunar surface. At low power you will be
able to see most of the lunar disk at one time. The optional Reducer/Corrector lens allows for breath-
taking views of the entire lunar disk when used with a low power eyepiece. Change to higher power
(magnification) to focus in on a smaller area. Keep in mind that if you are not using the clock drive, the
rotation of the Earth will cause the Moon to drift out of your field of view. You will have to manually
adjust the telescope to keep the Moon centered. This effect is more noticeable at higher power. If you are
using the clock drive and have polar aligned, the Moon will remain centered. Consult your local
newspaper or a current astronomy magazine to find out when the Moon is visible.

Lunar Observing Hints

•

To increase contrast and bring out detail on the lunar surface, use filters. A yellow filter works well at
improving contrast.

OBSERVING THE PLANETS

Other easy targets include the five naked eye planets. You can see Venus
go through its lunar-like phases. Mars can reveal a host of surface detail
and one, if not both, of its polar caps. You will be able to see the cloud
belts of Jupiter and the great Red Spot (if it is visible at the time you are
observing). In addition, you will also be able to see the moons of Jupiter
as they orbit the giant planet. Saturn, with its beautiful rings, is easily
visible at moderate power. All you need to know is where to look. Most
astronomy publications indicate where the planets are in the sky each
month.

Planetary Observing Hints

•

To increase contrast and bring out detail on the planetary surface, try
using Celestron eyepiece filters.

This scanned drawing of
Jupiter provides a good
representation of what you
can see with moderate
magnification during good
seeing conditions.
