TELESCOPE USE SELECTING AN EYEPIECE: 1. You should always start viewing with the lowest power eyepiece, which in this case is the 25 mm lens.

Nebulae--The Great Orion Nebula is a very well known night sky object. This and many others are brought to you by this telescope. Star Clusters--View millions of stars densely packed in a
