GALILEO G-160DB
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
THIS TELESCOPE HAS BEEN 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.
USE THE TELESCOPE FOR TERRESTRIAL (LAND) VIEWING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO VIEW
ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS. THIS WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU WITH HOW POWERFUL EACH
EYEPIECE WILL BE, AS WELL AS INTRODUCE YOU TO THE FUNCTIONS OF YOUR
ACCESSORY LENSES.
THE IMAGE YOU SEE WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARD. THIS IS DUE TO THE
FACT THAT
YOUR TELESCOPE
IS AN ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPE AND HAS BEEN
MANUFACTURED FOR
ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS. IN ASTRONOMICAL VIEWING,
THERE IS NO UP OR DOWN, NO RIGHT OR LEFT.
WE RECOMMEND YOU BEGIN WITH THE LOWEST POWER EYEPIECE, 25MM WHEN USING
YOUR TELESCOPE. AS YOU INCREASE THE POWER TO 10MM 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 POWER. 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
