Recommendations

For best results, use the telescope in a dark location away from city lights. Allow the telescope to acclimate to outdoor temperature for about 30 minutes before observing. Start with the 20 mm eyepiece for low-power wide-field views, then switch to higher magnification for detailed lunar and planetary observation.
