TAKE  THE  TIME  TO   BECOME  FAMILIAR  WITH  YOUR  NEW  TELESCOPE.  LEARN  THE 
NAMES OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED AND THEIR FUNCTION. IT 
IS THE BEST TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.

WHEN  SETTING  UP  FOR  A  VIEWING  SESSION,  PLACE  THE  TELESCOPE IN AN AREA 
SHELTERED  FROM  THE  WIND  IF  POSSIBLE.  THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE 
AWAY FROM CITY LIGHT AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".

WITH  A  LITTLE  PRACTICE  YOU  WILL LEARN  TO  JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONS 
ARE  GOOD.  LOOK  FOR  THE  NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE 
OR NO TWINKLING.

USE  LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND BRIGHTER 
IMAGE.   RESERVE   YOUR   HIGH   POWERS   FOR   THE  NIGHTS   WHEN  THE  VIEWING 
CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.
