With the Moon visible in the sky, set up your telescope 
with the 20mm eyepiece installed. 

Look through the telescope’s 20mm eyepiece. 
Gently turn the focus knobs to adjust the sharpness 
of the image. 

You can view many other celestial objects, such as 
planets, star clusters and nebulae using this same 
technique if you know where to find them in the  
night sky. 

Celestron’s free SkyPortal app for iOS and Android can 
help you locate and identify a wide array of celestial 
objects quickly and easily.

The best and easiest target for you to try to view first is the Moon. Try 
observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle. The best time 
to view the Moon is from two days after a New Moon up to a few days 
before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able to see the most 
detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges. 

YOUR FIRST NIGHT OUT-

THE MOON

To get a closer view of the Moon, loosen the set  
screws on the focuser and remove the 20mm eyepiece.  
Replace it with your 8mm eyepiece and tighten the set 
screws to secure it in place. The 8mm eyepiece will 
give you significantly more magnification, making the 
Moon appear much larger. 

NOTE: 

 

You may need to adjust the focus 
knobs when you change eyepieces, to 
make sure you are getting the sharpest 

 

image possible. 

Move the telescope so that it is roughly pointing 
toward the Moon. 

Look through the finderscope and locate the crosshair 
reticle. Continue moving the telescope until the 
crosshair appears over the Moon.
