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 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 or
moon phase app 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 fi nderscope and look through it to fi nd the red reticle.
3. Move the telescope until you can see the Moon through the fi nderscope’s window and the reticle is centered on the Moon.
4. Look through the 20 mm eyepiece. Gently turn the focus knob 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 10 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.
Now that you have observed with your telescope, the next step
is taking a picture of what you are seeing. The Inspire telescopes
have a smartphone adapter built right into the lens cap. To use
this feature:
1. Start by pulling the orange plug out of the camera opening in
the lens cap. You can do this by pulling on the orange rubber
lanyard located on the inside of the lens cap. The plug should
pop right out. The plug and lanyard can be stowed out of the
way by pressing the lanyard into the retaining clip located on
the back of the lens cap next to the eyepiece holder.
2. Turn the cap so that the outside of the cap is facing upward.
Lift the bungee straps and slide your smartphone between the
straps and the lens cap so that the camera is looking through
the camera opening. The straps should give plenty of tension
to hold the device against the cap and the black silicon ring will
give enough friction to prevent the phone from sliding around.
HINT: Depending on the design of your smartphone, the camera may be in the middle of
the device or in one corner. You may want to change the angle of the bungee straps
to better secure the phone. There are eight different anchor points to choose from
around the edge of the lens cap. Simply reposition them to different anchor points to
achieve the best results.
