The general rule regarding power: Only use as much magnification as
supports a steady, well-defined image. The stability of the air varies
and is one reason why having various eyepieces is highly desirable.
Higher powers are no guaranty of better images; in fact, the opposite is
often true. Keep in mind, that land viewing and wide-field, deep-space
observation generally operate best with low-powered eyepieces.
MAINTENANCE
The Meade 60mm Compact Refractor telescope should be stored in a
dry and dust-free location. It should not be stored in direct sunlight.
Avoid overcleaning the lens. A little dust on the the lens hardly affects
image quality.
