Change to higher power (magnification) to focus in on a smaller area. Keep in mind that the rotation of the earth will cause the moon to drift out of your field of view. You’ll have to manually adjust the telescope to keep the moon centered. /This effect is more noticeable at higher power. Consult a current astronomy magazine or your local newspaper to find out the current phase of the moon. Lunar Observing Hint To increase contrast and bring out visible detail on the lunar surface, try using different eyepiece filters (available through your local Celestron dealer). A yellow filter works well for improving contrast. Observing the Planets Other easy targets include the five “naked eye” planets of our solar system, so called because they can be spotted in the night sky by the unaided eye. You can see Venus go through its lunar-like phases. Mars can reveal a host of surface detail and one, if not both, of its polar caps. You’ll be able to see the cloud belts of Jupiter, perhaps even the great Red Spot. In addition, you’ll be able to see the moons of Jupiter as they orbit the giant planet. Saturn, with its beautiful rings, is easily visible at moderate power, as is Mercury. All you need to know is where to look. Most astronomy publications indicate where the planets are in the sky each month. The drawing above of Jupiter provides a good representation of what you can expect to see with moderate magnification, during good “seeing” conditions. Observing the Sun Although overlooked by many amateur astronomers, solar observation is both rewarding and fun. However, because the sun is so bright, special precautions must be taken when observing this star, so as not to damago your eyes or your telescope. Never project an image of the sun through the telescope. This can damage the telescope and/or any accessories attached to the telescope. For safe solar viewing, use a Celestron solar filter. This filter reduces the intensity of the sun's light, making it safe to view. With this filter you can see sunspots as they move across the solar disk and faculae, which are bright patches seen near the sun's edge. Be sure to cover the finderscope’s lens or remove it completely when observing the sun. This will ensure that the finderscope itself is 13 not damaged and that no one looks through it inadvertently. Before any solar viewing, please review the warning on page 4. To enable you to find objects you should have a set of Star Charts. The location of the planets may appear in local newspapers. Observing Deep-Sky Objects Deep-sky objects are simply those objects outside the boundaries of our solar system. They include star clusters, planetary nebulae, diffuse nebulae, double stars and other galaxies outside our own Milky Way. Unlike the sun, moon and our five major planets, most deep-sky objects are not visible to the naked eye. Celestron Sky Maps (#93722) can help you locate the brightest deep-sky objects. Most deep-sky objects have a large angular size. Therefore, a low-to-moderate power eyepiece is all you need to see them. Visually, they are too faint to reveal any of the color seen in long exposure photographs. Instead, they appear black and white. Because of their low surface brightness, they should be observed from a “dark-sky” location. Light pollution around large urban areas washes out most nebulae making them difficult, if not impossible, to observe. The amount of detail you can see is dependent on your observing site (dark-sky rural locations are best), atmospheric conditions, brightness of the object and your observing experience. TELESCOPE MAINTENANCE With proper care, your telescope should rarely need any maintenance work. To maintain your telescope in the best possible condition, observe the follow suggestions: 1. When your telescope isn’t in use, replace all lens covers to keep dust and contaminants off the optical surfaces. 2. A small amount of dust on any optical surface isn’t a problem and doesn’t need to be removed. If the dust builds up, then use a can of compressed air and a camels hair brush to remove the dust. To remove fingerprints or other contaminants, use an optical cleaning kit or the Celestron Lens Pen (#93575). 3. If the inside of the objective lens needs cleaning, it should be done by a professional. Either have your instrument serviced by a telescope repair facility or return it to the factory for servicing.
