GALILEO G-860BG
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
THIS TELESCOPE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AGAINST CHROMATIC ABERRATION AND
PRODUCED TO PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS.
PRIOR TO USING YOUR NEW GALILEO TELESCOPE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SETUP
AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE
IN ORDER TO ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
CONSIDER
USING
THE TELESCOPE FOR EARTH (TERRESTRIAL) VIEWING BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO VIEW ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS. THIS WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU WITH HOW
POWERFUL EACH EYEPIECE WILL BE, AS WELL AS INTRODUCING YOU TO THE FUNCTIONS
OF YOUR ACCESSORY LENSES.
DUE TO THE DIAGONAL MIRROR POSITIONED IN THE FOCUS HOUSING, THE IMAGE YOU
SEE WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT SIDE UP. BUT LEFT AND RIGHT ARE REVERSED.
WE RECOMMEND YOU BEGIN WITH THE LOWEST POWER EYEPIECE, 20MM, WHEN USING
YOUR TELESCOPE. AS YOU INCREASE THE POWER TO 6MM, YOUR POWER WILL BE HIGHER,
BUT THE IMAGE WILL APPEAR DARKER; THIS IS DUE TO THE BASIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE TELESCOPE. THE HIGHER THE POWER YOU USE THE DARKER THE IMAGE WILL
APPEAR AND YOUR VIEWING FIELD WILL BE MORE NARROW.
PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE. IT IS A VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENT
THAT IS CAPABLE OF USING HIGH POWERS. HOWEVER, THE MORE POWER YOU USE, THE
MORE SENSITIVE THE TELESCOPE BECOMES. AS A RESULT, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF
THE TELESCOPE COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE THE IMAGE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EYEPIECE.
PRACTICE WILL ENABLE YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH MOVEMENT TO EXPECT WITH EACH
EYEPIECE AND IT'S CORRESPONDING POWER.
IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER HELP WITH YOUR GALILEO TELESCOPE
