TERRESTRIAL AND ASTRONOMICAL VIEWING
Your Zhumell binoculars are equipped for both large-magnification
terrestrial viewing and astronomical viewing purposes. Although
they are light enough to hold in your hand, we recommend
these binoculars be mounted to a tripod for best results. At high
magnification, even the smallest movement of the binoculars
results in a large jolt to the view.
To use your binoculars for land-based viewing, mount to a tripod
and point the binoculars at the object you’d like to see. Adjust the
focus knobs to bring the object into clear view.
To use your binoculars for astronomical viewing, read the following
guide to achieve viewing success.
SELECTING A VIEWING SITE
The ideal site for using your binoculars for astronomical viewing
is in the middle of nowhere. Most users don’t have access to the
darkest of skies, however, so select a site that is both far from light
pollution and practical for travel. Avoid street lights, yard lighting,
rooftops, and chimneys, and never observe through an open
window indoors. Be sure your site is out-of-town or very dark and
has clear view of a large portion of the sky.
