For planetary viewing, try observing Venus first, as it is one of 
the brightest objects in the night sky at most times of the year. 
The planets will tend to appear like flat discs through your 
telescope, and you will probably be quite surprised by the 
rapidity with which they move across the sky. If you aim your 
telescope at a planet and walk away for five or ten minutes , 
you are likely to find that the planet has moved out of the 
telescope’ s field when you get back. 

 

 

Note1

: Whenever locating an object, always use the finder 

scope first, as it has a wide field of the view and will speed up 
the process of observing celestial objects. 

 

Note2

: Always start with the lowest power eyepiece (20mm) in 

the telescope tube and work up to the power you 
want…making the necessary focusing adjustments as you 
change eyepieces . 

 

Note3

: Do not be alarmed by the fact that the images you see 

are upside-down. This is normal with reflector telescopes. The 
image can be corrected to appear right-side up using an 
Erecting Eyepiece (not included).
