YOUR FIRST NIGHT OUT
THE MOON
The best and easiest target for you to try to view fi rst is the Moon. Try
observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle. The best time
to view the Moon 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 the craters and lunar mountain ranges.

CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU HAVE NOW OBSERVED YOUR
FIRST CELESTIAL OBJECT!
To get a closer view of the Moon, loosen the set screws
on the focuser and remove the 20mm eyepiece. Replace
it with your 10mm eyepiece and tighten the set screws
to secure it in place. The 10mm eyepiece will give you
signifi cantly more magnifi cation, making the Moon appear
much larger.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the focus knobs when you
change eyepieces, so make sure you are getting
the sharpest image possible.

Look through the fi nderscope and locate the red-dot reticle.
Continue moving the telescope until the red dot appears
over the Moon.

You can view many other celestial objects, such as planets,
star clusters and nebulae using this same technique if you
know where to fi nd them in the night sky.
Celestron's free SkyPortal app for iOS and Android can help
you locate and identify a wide array of celestial objects
quickly and easily.
