Observing the Moon:
When viewing the moon, it can be too bright,
temporarily destroying your night vision as well as
washing out the details of the moon’s surface. To
correct this, you can use the moon filter by putting
the telescope tube cover in place and sliding the
filter aside to allow the correct amount of light into
the telescope. This can bring an enormous change
to the image seen through the eyepiece.
Keeping Equipment Clean
Cleaning the mirrors and eyepiece:
Please
DO NOT
touch or attempt to clean or align
the mirrors inside the telescope. Let the caretaker
know if they seem dirty.
To prevent dirt and dust build-up, always put the
dust caps back on the eyepiece and telescope
tube at the end of your observing session! Always
store the telescope with all the dust caps on and
the dust cover over the telescope.
