You should also make sure that the surface you place your
telescope on does not vibrate or move as this will also cause
your viewing object to move.
• You should avoid setting up your telescope inside a room
looking through an open window. The difference in air
temperatures may result in a blurry image.
• Viewing through a closed window might also result in a
distorted image due to the varying densities of window
glass.
• Avoid viewing objects that are low on the horizon. Objects
that are higher up in the sky will appear much sharper.
• Sudden changes in temperature may cause condensation
to appear on the optical components of the telescope. It is
best to set up your telescope ahead of time and then wait
while the telescope adjusts to the new temperature before
using it.
Care and Maintenance of Your Telescope:
Cleaning:
• Always replace dust covers and lens caps when not in use.
This will minimize the amount of dust and debris that gets
into your telescope.
• Cleaning should be performed only if absolutely necessary.
If dust has built up on the optics use a soft camel’s hair
brush or pressurized air to gently remove it.
• To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft
cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse
cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface
and eventually cause permanent damage.
• For a more thorough cleaning, photographic type lens
cleaning fluid may be used. Always apply the fluid to the
cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens.
• Avoid touching the surface of the objective lens.
• Do not attempt to take apart your telescope to clean it.
