HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR TELESCOPE

Appropriate care of the telescope will allow many years of pleasant viewing enjoyment.

Cleaning The Lens
Clean the lens only when it is required. The first step is to remove the dust with a camelhair brush or an ear-type syringe. Set few drops of ether or isopropyl alcohol on a piece of clean cotton that has been washed several times and wipe the lenses very delicately, avoiding a circular motion. In addition, blow any remaining lint or dust off with an ear-type syringe.

Sudden Temperature Changes
If possible, avoid taking the telescope from cold outside air into a warm room. This will make the objective lens to be covered with condensed moisture, which must be removed at once. To do this, place the objective lens at a safe distance from heat source and let it warm slowly until the moisture has vanished.

It is important to note that any stains left on the lenses must be delicately wiped off after the lenses are completely dry.

Features:
Professional aspherical lens for super sharp images This telescope employs aspherical lenses to reduce image aberration often found in conventional spherical lens elements, producing a sharp and less distorted image from the center to the edge of the field of view.

Wide angle view
This telescope employs wde angle eyepieces, which offer a larger view of the sky while still retaining the same magnification, giving a greater area of sky coverage.

OBSERVING ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS THROUGH YOUR TELESCOPE

HOW TO USE THE TELESCOPE

Our telescope offers an extensive selection parts and accessories for your telescope to further enhance the exploration of worlds beyond. As well, it is a precision optical instrument certain to give many years of enjoyment and entertainment.

1. Viewing
   What you see through a telescope and how accurate you see it is a function of three factors;
   • Power / Magnification
   • Brightness
   • Resolution / Clarity of image
     It is a common misunderstanding that the more power you have, the better it is. Indeed, essential functions of a telescope are to magnify the image, or give the effect of being closer to object of observation. However, there are limits to how much power to use effectively. With every increase in magnification, there is a corresponding reduction of brightness and resolution. magnification and the image will become dim and blurry so that the features of the object become vague. For best view of any astronomical body, you must strike a balance between the three viewing qualities.
     Furthermore, with every increase in power, there is a decrease in field of view. The field of view is the circle of sky you see as you look through your telescope. The more you increase magnification, the smaller that circle becomes. You will also notice that celestial bodies seem to move fast across the field of view even at low powers. That movement is still more recognizable at high powers. High power will provide some dramatic views of lunar or planetary features, but can also be somewhat frustrating until you acquire a certain level of expertise at tracking objects smoothly.
2. Power Strength: Selecting The Eye Lens
   Power means the ability of telescope to increase an image, or appear to bring the image closer to the viewer. Value of magnifying power is distinguished by a number followed by an X (read power). Therefore, If you view an object at 125X, you are seeing it as though you are 125 times closer to that object.
   Power is calculated by dividing the focal length of objective lens of your telescope by the focal length of the eye lens you choose. The focal length of the eye lens is usually indicated on the eyepiece itself. For example: 4mm
   
   The longer the focal length of the eyepiece, the less the magnifying power of the telescope. Whereas the shorter the focal length, the greater the power. Therefore, when choosing an eye lens to insert the diagonal prism, you are actually selecting what magnifying power you wish to use for inspection.

1. Adjustable arm
2. Smartphone holder
3. Bracket
4. Quick release lever
5. Arc
6. Small knob
7. Eyepiece adapter
8. Large knob
9. Swing arm
10. Small screw

9. Attach The Smartphone To The Adapter
   1. If the telescope clip (lower half) is connected to the smartphone holder, separate them by pressing the quick release lever (4) and sliding out.
   2. Loosen the large knob (8) at the back of the adaptor and put the smartphone on it with face up.
   3. Adjust the position of the horizontal arm (1) to fit the width of the smartphone and tighten the large knob (8) just enough to keep the phone in position.
      
      

2. Using STAR WALK^TM 2 for Telescope
   A stargazing smartphone software application (e.g. Star Walk ™ 2 for telescope for iOS and Android) helps you find and identify the celestial objects easily.
   Select "Take a Tour" (Menu Take a tour) to familiarize yourself with the various app features.
   The App language will follow your smartphone's language setting.

Features Highlight
IDENTIFY THE CELESTIAL OBJECTS

After the smartphone adapter is attached to the telescope, the smartphone orientation is aligned with the telescope. Utilizing the smartphone's location and orientation, a star map application can show the real time simulated sky view on the screen matching the view through the telescope. Names of the stars or celestial objects are shown on screen and automatically updated when users adjust the telescope or move the telescope to a different location.

SEARCH AND DIRECT
Another advantage of using the application software is that users can search for a celestial object. The screen will guide users which direction to move the telescope.

3. Using The Smartphone Eyepiece Adapter
   The smartphone adapter is also equipped with an adapter to attach to the telescope eyepiece for photo and video capture..
   1. To remove the adapter from the telescope, press the quick release lever (4) and slide the smartphone adaptor out.
      
      
   2. Loosen the small screw (10) at the top. Attach the adaptorsmartphone assembly to the telescope eyepiece as shown. The adaptor should be fully inserted into the eyepiece for best results. Tighten the small screw
      
      
   3. With the camera app opened, re-adjust the smartphone camera position by slightly loosening the main adaptor screw if necessary. The image circle should be at the centre of the screen. Adjust the focus knob until the image is clear.
