How to start observing
Before you start exploring the Cosmos, you should learn to operate the telescope during the day.
First, observe di erent terrestrial objects – houses, trees and many others!
Attention: The telescope should be used in a place protected from the wind. When you get to
observing the Moon, planets and stars at night, remember to choose locations away from street
lamps, car lights and window lights. Try to observe on nights when the stars shine bright and
evenly.
Point the telescope at the desired object. Looking through the inderscope, slowly move the tube
until the object is in the center. Now look through the eyepiece and you will see the image of the
object magniied many times!
Solar ilter (Levenhuk Skyline Travel Sun models)
Attach the solar ilter available in the kit to the far end of the telescope tube. The ilter must
not only cover the objective lens fully, but also it the telescope’s tube snugly. It is recommended
that you also secure the ilter on the optical tube with adhesive tape to prevent the ilter from
accidentally sliding o during observations.
