WHEN OBSERVING DURING THE DAYTIME, DO NOT POINT THE TELESCOPE EVEN CLOSE TO THE SUN. WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS A PRECISION INSTRUMENT. WHILE NOT OVERLY FRAGILE, THE TELESCOPE CAN BE DAMAGED BY IMPROPER USE OR CARELESSNESS, SUCH. AS FORCING THE MANUAL LOCKS OR DROPPING THE ELECTRONIC COMMAND CENTER. SUCH ABUSE IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. FOR PROPER UTILIZATION OF YOUR MEADE LX6 SCHMIDT-CASSEGRAIN, A THOROUGH READING OF THIS SUPPLEMENTARY MANUAL IS ESSENTIAL.

(Note: The viewfinder presents an image which is upside-down.) UNDERSTANDING CELESTIAL MOVEMENTS AND COORDINATES Understanding where to locate celestial objects, and how those objects move across the sky is fundamental to enjoying the hobby of astronomy. Most amateur astronomers adopt the simple practice of “star-hopping” to locate celestial objects by using star charts or astronomical software which identify bright stars and star patterns (constellations) that serve as “road maps” and “landmark

When unsteady air conditions prevail (as witnessed by rapid “twinkling” of the stars), extremely high-power eyepieces result in poor magnification, where the object detail observed is actually reduced by the excessive power. – 12 – MAINTENANCE Cleaning As with any quality instrument, lens or mirror surfaces should be cleaned as infrequently as possible. Front surface aluminized mirrors, in particular, should be cleaned only when absolutely necessary. In all cases avoid touching any mirror surfac

DO NOT POINT THE TELESCOPE OR ITS VIEWFINDER AT OR NEAR THE SUN. DO NOT LOOK THROUGH THE TELESCOPE OR ITS VIEWFINDER AS IT IS MOVING. CHILDREN SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION WHILE OBSERVING. How This Manual is Organized This manual is divided into three major sections. Part One, "The Basics," presents several "Lessons" that will teach you how to assemble and use your telescope and Starfinder. If you follow all the Lessons in this section, you will become familiar with the basic operation o
