- Page 2 Your new Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope provides you with the clarity and contrast of a lens type (refractor) telescope and the brightness and color fidelity of a mirror type (reflector) telescope. And it all comes in an easy-to-use, compact package. As a terrestrial (land) telescope, the NG65 delivers great views of mountains, valleys, wildlife, and many other wonders and features of the world around us.

- Page 5 THE CAMERA ADAPTER Rubber Eyecup Your telescope comes with a 35mm SLR camera adapter. This allows you to attach almost any 35mm SLR camera (a camera that uses interchangeable lenses) to the telescope eyepiece so that photographs can be taken through the telescope – in effect turning it into a telephoto lens.
- Page 6 We recommend that you allow 30 minutes to equalize the temperatures when the difference in temperature difference is extreme. If you try to use the telescope before it has adjusted to the outdoor temperature you may find it somewhat difficult to focus accurately.
- Page 7 If, after several attempts, you cannot remove the particles, take the telescope to an optical professional for cleaning. If you keep the dust cap on your telescope when it is not in use and avoid handling the lenses, only minimal optical maintenance of your telescope should be required.
- Page 8 Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and the second brightest next to Venus. Jupiter has many moons, four of which are often visible through your telescope when viewing conditions permit. As you watch them throughout the evening, you will see that they change position relative to each other and to Jupiter.
- Page 9 With the aid of a telescope, you will be able to enjoy exciting views of Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s major moons, the Orion Nebula, and much more.
