If the image is fuzzy at higher magnification, drop down to a lower magnification as the atmospheric conditions are not sufficient to support the high magnification at observation time. Starting with the lowest-powered ocular lens, allows you to focus in and find objects prior to using the higher-powered oculars (5mm, 6mm, 4mm or 2x Barlow) producing a smaller field of view. After you gain some skill and practice at low powers, you can carefully move up when viewing conditions are best. That is why we suggest you begin learning about your new telescope by starting at the lower powers.
That is why the more experienced telescope user knows that viewing is generally more enjoyable at lower powers. And as more magnification is achieved, more interference occurs from ambient or casual light sources, as well as from the atmosphere itself. As one seeks to increase the magnification of an image, more and more of the light is lost or reflected. Yet, the pure and simple physics of light transmission, refraction, and magnification through optical lenses make this a very challenging task. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see the "canals" on Mars or the ice cap on Jupiter or the Apollo landing sights on the moon? Let's talk about POWER: It's a natural tendency for all of us to want to magnify the moon, planets and stars as much as possible so as to be able to see it as closely as we can. This shifts your focal length and prevents you from getting a proper focus, (Example: Barlow and Star Diagonal, 2Omm ocular lens. Never mount more than one accessory (except the moon filter) with your ocular lens.
If your telescope is equipped with a moon filter, be sure to remove it from the ocular, do this before viewing objects and only use the filter(s) for their intended use. Initial experience can be gained during this time of the operation and use of your telescope. Certainly, here is an excerpt from one of our publications:įor beginners, it is best to put in some practice by viewing terrestrial objects during the day.
