Polaris 30
™
Handheld Telescope
Instructions
Your Polaris 30
™
Telescope is named for the 50th brightest
star in the sky – also known as the North Star.
A navigator’s guide, it points true north. If you live in the
USA or Canada, and find Polaris, you are facing north. Then
you know how to go east, west, and south. Polaris also
marks the end of the handle of the Little Dipper.
Using Your Polaris 30
™
Telescope
1. Remove the dust cap from the lens.
2. Point the telescope at the object you want to see.
3. Place your eye just behind the eyepiece, not touching it.
4. Slowly push or pull the eyepiece until the object you
see is clear.
5. Hold your telescope steady or everything you see will
be shaky.
Your 30mm Telescope
• Your new telescope has a 30X magnification.
That means you can see things 30 times closer than you
can without your telescope.
• It is a refractor telescope. That means it has a long tube
with a lens at the front and an eyepiece at the back.
• The front lens, called the objective lens, focuses light to
form an image at the back of the tube.
• The eyepiece is a small magnifying glass that helps you
see things larger.
• Since your telescope is handheld and lightweight, it is
perfect to take with you anyplace. Tuck it in your back
pack and take it on trips and explorations. Use it for
bird-watching, star gazing, and even watching the outfield-
ers at the baseball game!
Oh the amazing things you will see
