11 Installing the Eyepieces The eyepiece, or ocular as it is also ca lled, is an optical element that magnifi es the image focuse d by the telescope. Without the eyepiece it would be impossible to use the telescope visually. The eye piece fits di rectly into the focuser. To attach an ocular: 1. Loosen the set screw on the e yepiece adapter so that [...]

12 Balancing the Telescope in DEC The telescope should also be balanced on the declination axis to prevent any sudd en motions when the DEC clamp (Fig 2-5) is released. To balance the telescope in DEC: 1. Release the R. A. clamp and rotate the telesc ope so that i t is on one side of the m ount (i.e., as described in the previous section on balan c[...]

Determining Field of View Determining the field of view is important if you want to get an idea of the angular size of the object you are obs erving. To calculate the actual fie ld of view, divide the apparent field o[...]

32 Up to this point, this manual covered the assembly and ba sic operation of your telescope . However, to understand your telescope more thoroughly, you need to know a little abou t the night sky. This section deals with observational astronomy in general and includ es informa tion on the night sky and polar alignment. The Celestial Coordinate Sys[...]

33 Motion of the Stars The daily motio n of the Sun across the sky is familiar to even the most casual observer. This daily trek is not the Sun moving as early astronomers thought, but the result of the Earth ' s rotation. The Earth's rotation also causes the stars to do the same, scribing out a large circle as the Earth completes one rot[...]

34 Latitude Scales The easiest way to polar align a telescop e is with a latitude scale. Unlike other methods th at require you to find the celestial pole by iden tif ying certain stars near it, this method works off of a known constant to determine how high the polar axis should be pointed. The A dvanced Series mount can be adjusted from 30 to 60 [...]

35 Remember, while Polar aligning, do NOT move the telescop e in R.A. or DEC. You do not want to move the telescope itself, but the polar axis. The telescope is used simpl y to see where the polar axis is pointing. Like the previous method, this gets yo u close to the pole but not directly on it. The following methods help improve your accuracy for[...]

37 With your telescope set up, you are r eady to use it for obser ving. This section covers visual obs erving hints for both solar system and deep sky objects as well as general obser ving conditions which will affect your ability to observe. Observing the Moon Often, it is tempting to look at the Moon when it is full. At this time, the face we see[...]

38 For safe solar viewing, use a sol ar filter that reduces the int e nsity of the Sun ' s light, m aking it safe to view. With a filter you can see sunspots as they move across the solar disk and faculae, which are bright patches seen near the Sun's edge. Solar Observing Hints • The best time to observe th e Sun is in the early morning[...]

39 disturbances vary from time-to-time and place-to-place. The size of the air parcels compared to your apert ure determines the "seeing" qualit y. Under good seeing conditions, fi ne detail is visible on the brighter planets like Jupiter and Mars, and stars are pinpoint images. Under p oor seeing c onditions, images are blurred an d star[...]

40 After looking at the night sky for a while you may want to try photographing it. Several forms of photography are possible with your telescope, including terr estrial and celestial ph otography. Both of these are discussed in moderate detail with enough information to get you started. Topics in clud e the accessories required a nd some simple te[...]
