- Page 3 as xylene and alcohol for cleaning purposes is not recommended. Eyepieces should be cared for and cleaned like any other optical element. Eyepieces are constructed so that they can be taken apart. The inexperienced person should not attempt this because the lenses of the eyepiece are carefully aligned during manufacturing and careless handling could lead to misalignment.
- Page 5 Eyepiece & Magnification This telescope is supplied with three different eyepieces (4mm, 12.5mm, and 20mm). The power of each particular eyepiece is directly related to the focal length of the telescope which is 700mm (millimeters); However, the power of each eyepiece is related to the focal length of the objective mirror of the telescope.
- Page 6 For planetary viewing, try observing Venus first, as it is one of the brightest objects in the night sky at most times of the year. The planets will tend to appear like flat discs through your telescope, and you will probably be quite surprised by the rapidity with which they move across the sky.
