Delovanje

Once your telescope is set up, you can begin observing. The Travel Scope 80 is versatile for both daytime and nighttime viewing.

1. Locating Objects with the Finderscope: Before looking through the main eyepiece, use the 5x24 finderscope to roughly center your desired object. The finderscope provides a wider field of view, making it easier to locate targets.
2. Viewing with Eyepieces: Once the object is centered in the finderscope, look through the main eyepiece. Start with the 20mm eyepiece for a broader view, then switch to the 10mm eyepiece for higher magnification and more detail.
3. Fokusiranje: Use the focus knobs on the telescope to bring the image into sharp focus. Turn them slowly until the image appears clear and crisp.
4. Daytime Observations: The erect image diagonal ensures that images appear right-side up, making the telescope suitable for observing terrestrial subjects like wildlife, birds, or distant landscapes.
5. Nighttime Observations: Explore the Moon's craters, visible planets like Saturn and Jupiter, and brighter star clusters. For assistance in identifying celestial objects, download Celestron's Starry Night astronomy software.
6. Capturing Images (with Smartphone Adapter): If using the smartphone adapter, align your phone's camera with the eyepiece. Use your phone's camera app to capture photos or videos.
