Observation
Youshouldallowabout90minutesforthetemperatureadjustmentbefore observing.
If the telescope is set up e.g. from a heated car or house on the free field, it can come
toasocalled"Tubus-Seeing".Thisresultsfromthemainmirrornotyetadaptedtothe
temperature difference.
Only after the temperature adjustment the telescope shows a sharp picture.
The first observations are best practiced during the day, so you will quickly become
familiar with the operation of your new telescope.
First select a simple object: a mountain top, a lighthouse or the like.
Roughly align the telescope to it.
Now target the target object with the light spot finder.
Nowtheobjectshouldalreadybevisibleinthe26mmeyepiece.
Now the image can be carefully focused with the eyepiece extension.

easy even in the dark. The phases that are increasing and decreasing are best suited for
observing the moon, with their detailed shadow casts that allow crater formations and
the like to emerge very vividly. During the full moon the surface appears relatively low-
contrast and without structure.
For moon observation a neutral gray filter is recommended, which attenuates the partly
bright light. This is available as an accessory from your specialist dealer.

Planets
On their way around the sun, the planets constantly change their position in the sky.
Consult a monthly astro magazine (Interstellarum, Astronomy Today, Stars and Space)
to find planets in the sky or search the Internet. In the following you will find a list of the
planets which are particularly suitable for observation with the Messier telescope:

Mars
The diameter of Mars is about half the diameter of the earth. Mars appears in a telescope
as a tiny, reddish-orange slice. There's a chance you might spot a touch of white when you
look at one of the planet's two icy polar caps. Approximately every two years, additional
details and color effects become visible on the planet's surface. This happens whenever
Mars and Earth come closest to each other on their orbits.
Jupiter
