Carefully remove all parts from the box, noting the pre-fitted diagonal mirror and 20mm eyepiece.
Stand the tripod vertically and spread the three legs fully apart for stability.
Release the bolt and wing nut to move the telescope as desired, then secure it.
Release the thumbscrew, remove the 20mm eyepiece, and replace with the 10mm eyepiece for higher magnification.
View outside for best results, as windows can distort images due to reflections or air currents.
Allow the telescope to adjust to outside temperatures for up to 30 minutes for optimal lens performance.
Find a viewing spot away from bright lights, especially in urban areas, for clearer views.
Avoid sudden temperature changes; if condensation occurs, remove caps and let it evaporate pointing downwards.
Divide the telescope's focal length (500mm) by the eyepiece's focal length for magnification.
The 20mm eyepiece provides 25X magnification, and the 10mm eyepiece provides 50X magnification.
Keep the dust caps on the lens and eyepieces when the telescope is not in use or during transport.
Remove dust caps and let moisture evaporate naturally if condensation occurs, pointing downwards to avoid dust.
Blow away dust particles. For tougher dirt, use a moistened lens tissue or cloth.
