User manual BUSHNELL VOYAGER 78-9570

[. . . ] Looking through red dot finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same object being viewed in main telescope tube. Remove Lens Covers from 60mm Objective Lens and each ocular eyepiece contained in Rotary Power Turret®. Your Bushnell Voyager Telescope is now ready to be used. To obtain the fullest enjoyment from your telescope, please refer to the additional information below. HOW TO USE YOUR NEW TELESCOPE Astronomical telescopes are designed in such a way that the image you see appears UPSIDE DOWN and REVERSED, this is acceptable for viewing celestial bodies. Selecting an Eyepiece: 1. Always begin viewing with the lowest power eyepiece, which in this case is the 20mm lens. [. . . ] Slip telescope into carrying case and pull drawstring to close. Please find below an image depicting how to attach the red dot finderscope and an image depicting a fully-attached unit. How-To-Attach: Place Finderscope Cylindrical Groove over Cylindrical Finderscope Mount Post until it clicks into place. Plastic Insert Adjustment Wheels Aligning and Using Red Dot Finderscope Remove plastic insert on bottom side of finderscope to allow battery to make connection with battery contact for power. Look through main telescope tube at low power and establish a well-defined stationary target. Looking through red dot finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same object being viewed in main telescope tube. Never Look Directly At The Sun With Your Telescope Permanent Damage To Your Eyes May Occur Enjoying Your New Telescope 1. 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. The first thing you need to do after assembling the telescope as planned is center the desired object in the finderscope's cross hairs. Provided you did a reasonable job aligning the finderscope, a quick look through the main telescope tube at low power should reveal the same image. With the lowest power eyepiece (the one with the largest number printed on it) you should be able to focus the same image that you saw through the finderscope. The low power eyepiece will give you a wider field of view, and brighter image--thus making it very easy to find your target object. 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. 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 marvelous at high power. You can see mountains; ridges and craters jump out at you due to the highlights. Similarly, you can move up to higher magnifications on the planets and nebulae. Star clusters and stars are best viewed through the low power no matter what. The recurring astronomical theater we call the night sky is an ever-changing billboard. Rather, the positions of the stars change not only hourly as they seem to rise and set, but also throughout the year. As the earth orbits the sun our perspective on the stars changes on a yearly cycle about that orbit. [. . . ] Saturn--even at the lowest power you should be able to see Saturn's rings and moons. This is one of the most satisfying objects in the sky to see simply because it looks like it does in pictures. Imagine seeing what you've seen in textbooks or NASA images from your backyard!Most noted features are its dark stripes or bands both above and below its equator. [. . . ]
