Galileo G-860WG, Instructions Manual

PRODUCED  TO  PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS.

PRIOR  TO  USING YOUR NEW GALILEO TELESCOPE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SETUP 

AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE 

IN ORDER TO ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

CONSIDER    USING    THE   TELESCOPE   FOR   EARTH  (TERRESTRIAL)   VIEWING   BEFORE 

ATTEMPTING TO  VIEW ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS.  THIS WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU  WITH  HOW 

POWERFUL EACH  EYEPIECE WILL BE, AS WELL AS INTRODUCING YOU TO THE FUNCTIONS 

OF YOUR ACCESSORY LENSES.

DUE TO THE  DIAGONAL PRISM  POSITIONED IN THE FOCUS HOUSING, THE IMAGE YOU 

SEE WILL ALWAYS BE  RIGHT SIDE UP. 

WE  RECOMMEND  YOU  BEGIN  WITH THE LOWEST POWER EYEPIECE, 25MM, WHEN USING 

YOUR TELESCOPE. AS YOU INCREASE THE POWER TO 10MM, YOUR POWER WILL BE HIGHER, 

BUT THE IMAGE WILL APPEAR DARKER; THIS IS DUE TO THE BASIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF 

THE   TELESCOPE.   THE   HIGHER   THE   POWER   YOU USE  THE DARKER THE IMAGE WILL 

APPEAR AND YOUR VIEWING FIELD WILL BE MORE NARROW.

PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE. IT IS A VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENT 

THAT  IS  CAPABLE  OF USING HIGH POWERS. HOWEVER, THE MORE POWER YOU USE, THE 

MORE SENSITIVE THE TELESCOPE BECOMES. AS A RESULT, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF 

THE  TELESCOPE  COULD  CAUSE  YOU  TO LOSE THE IMAGE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EYEPIECE. 

PRACTICE  WILL ENABLE  YOU  TO  KNOW  HOW  MUCH  MOVEMENT TO EXPECT WITH EACH 

EYEPIECE AND IT'S CORRESPONDING POWER.

THIS   TELESCOPE   HAS   BEEN   CORRECTED   AGAINST   CHROMATIC   ABERRATION   AND
