Наведение телескопа

Slowly rotate the focus knobs under the focuser one way or the 
other until the image in the eyepiece is sharp. The image 
usually has to be finely refocused over time, due to small 
variations caused by temperature changes, flexures, etc. This 
often happens with short focal ratio telescopes, particularly 
when they haven't yet reached outside temperature. Refocusing 
is almost always necessary when you change an eyepiece, add 
or remove a Barlow lens.

To attach a camera to your telescope you may need an adapter to get the camera focused. Some 
refractors are designed to be used with diagonal mirrors and thus need a longer focal length 
when used with camera.
To achieve that, simply attach an extender to the focuser of your telescope and then attach the 
camera with a T-adapter to the extender. 

Camera adapter

The magnification produced by a telescope is determined by the focal length of the eyepiece 
that is used with it. To determine a magnification for your telescope, divide its focal length by 
the focal length of the eyepieces you are going to use. For example, a 10 mm eyepiece will give 
80x magnification with an 800 mm telescope.
