GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR TELESCOPE
TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW TELESCOPE. LEARN THE NAMES
OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED AND THEIR FUNCTION. IT IS BEST TO
PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.
WHEN SETTING UP FOR A VIEWING SESSION, PLACE THE TELESCOPE IN AN AREA
SHELTERED FROM THE WIND IF POSSIBLE. THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE AWAY
FROM CITY LIGHT AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN TO JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONS ARE
GOOD. LOOK FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE OR NO
TWINKLING.
USE LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND BRIGHTER
IMAGE. RESERVE
YOUR
CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.
