YOUR FIRST ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVING SESSION
THE MOON
Now you are ready to take your telescope out at night and do some real observing!
Let’s start with the Moon. The Moon takes about one month go through a complete phase cycle, from New Moon to Full
Moon and back again. Try observing it at different points during this cycle.
While you can observe the Moon any time it is visible in the night sky, the best time to view it is from two days after a New
Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able to see the most detail in craters and lunar
mountain ranges. Consult a calendar to fi nd out when the next New Moon will be.
1. With a clear view of the Moon, set up your telescope with the 20 mm eyepiece.
2. Turn on the StarPointer fi nderscope and look through it to fi nd the red dot.
3. Move the telescope until you can see the Moon through the fi nderscope’s window and the red dot is centered
on the Moon.
4. Look through the 20 mm eyepiece. Gently turn the focus knobs to adjust the sharpness of the image.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE NOW OBSERVED YOUR FIRST CELESTIAL OBJECT!
To get a closer view of the Moon, replace the 20 mm eyepiece with the 4 mm eyepiece. It will give you more magnifi cation,
making the Moon appear much larger. You may need to adjust the focus knobs when you change eyepieces to ensure you
are getting the sharpest image.
You can view many other celestial objects, such as planets, star clusters and nebulae using this same basic technique.
