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 (14) 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 (13) 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.
