User manual BUSHNELL START ENJOYING YOUR TELESCOPE

[. . . ] This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. [. . . ] At this point with a focused image in both scopes, you've passed the first obstacle. If you don't see an image after attempting to focus it in, you might consider aligning your Finderscope again. Once you pass this step, you will enjoy the time spent ensuring a good alignment. Every object you center in the Finderscope will be easily found in the main telescope tube, which is important for continuing your exploration of the night sky. 3. The low power eyepieces are perfect for viewing the full moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and even constellations. However, for more detail, try bumping up in magnification to higher power eyepieces on some of these objects. During calm and crisp nights, the light/dark separation line on the moon (called the "Terminator") is best viewed at high power. Similarly, you can move up to higher magnifications when viewing the planets and nebulae. Due to their distance and limited brightness, star clusters and individual stars are best viewed through the low power lens. The recurring astronomical theater we call the night sky is an ever-changing billboard. [. . . ] At higher magnifications you will notice that the planets and stars will "race" right out of the field of view. To compensate, just move your telescope to "track" it in the necessary path.
