Low power is recommended for most viewing conditions.

•Your telescope is a very sensitive instrument. For best results and fewer

vibrations set your telescope up on a level location on the ground rather

than your concrete driveway or your wooden deck. This will provide a more

stable foundation for viewing, especially if you've drawn a crowd with your

new telescope.

•If possible, view from a location that has relatively few lights. This will allow

you to see much fainter objects. You'd be surprised how much more you'll

see from your local lake or park when compared to a backyard in the city.

•Using your telescope out a window is NEVER recommended.

•View objects that are high in the sky if possible. Waiting until the object rises

well above the horizon will provide a brighter and crisper image. Objects on

the horizon are viewed through several layers of earth's atmosphere. Ever

wonder why the moon appears orange as it sets on the horizon? It's because

you are looking through a considerable more amount of atmosphere than you

would directly overhead. (Note: If objects high in the sky are distorted or wavy,

you are probably viewing on a very humid night.) During nights of unstable

atmosphere, viewing through a telescope can be frustrating if not impossible.

Astronomers refer to crisp, clear nights as nights of "good seeing."
