Rotate the altitude control knob (14) counterclockwise to move the optical tube (10) up and clockwise to move the tube down. If necessary, you may also loosen the vertical lock knob (18) and adjust th

For lunar and planetary viewing, switch to a higher power eyepiece such as the stamdard equipment MA9mm. Also consider using the provided 2X Barlow lens. If the image starts to become fuzzy as magnification is increased—back down to a lower power. See “Power” for more information about the Barlow. 3. If you are observing an astronomical object, you will immediately notice that the object moves in a rather slow but continuous motion across the telescopic field of view. This motion is caused by th

Such objects include nebulae, galaxies, multiple star systems,
