YOUR FIRST NIGHT OUT THE MOON
The best and easiest celestial target for you to view fi rst is the Moon. Try observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle.
The best time to view the Moon is from two days after a New Moon to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will
see the most detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges.

1. With the Moon visible in the sky, set
up your telescope with the 20mm
eyepiece installed and the fi nderscope
aligned. Move the telescope so that it
is roughly pointing toward the Moon.
Turn on the fi nderscope.

4. To get a closer look at the Moon, loosen
the setscrew on the star diagonal and
remove the 20mm eyepiece. Replace
it with the 10mm eyepiece and tighten
the setscrew to secure the new
eyepiece in place. The 10mm eyepiece
will signifi cantly boost magnifi cation,
making the Moon appear much larger.
You may need to adjust focus when
you change eyepieces to ensure the
sharpest image possible.

2. Look through the fi nderscope and
locate the red dot. Continue moving
the telescope until the dot is centered
over the Moon.

view many other celestial objects, like
planets, star clusters, and nebulae.
