What to Expect
Take plenty of time to let your eyes adjust to the darkness. Don’t expect to see color as you do in
NASA photos as our eyes are not sensitive enough to see color in deep-sky objects; many will look
like dim gray smudges. As you become more experienced and your observing skills get sharper, you
will be able to seek out more and more subtle details and structure. Like many reflector telescopes,
the image in the eyepiece is rotated. When looking at star charts you will have to keep this in mind.
Packing Up
1. Bring the focuser all the way down using the focus wheels.
2. Replace dust caps on the eyepiece and telescope tube.
3. Turn the EZ Finder off.
4. Return the constellation guide, flashlight, user manual, and any batteries to the gear bag.
5. Return the telescope to the Check Out desk at the library no later than thirty minutes prior to
closing on the day the telescope is due.
