Telescope Tips

Actual Image
Image Viewed
Through Telescope
• This telescope has a magnification power of 17.5X. This
means that objects seen through the telescope look 17.5
times larger than with the eyes alone.
• This telescope is a refracting telescope. When you look at an
object with this telescope, the object will appear backwards.
For example, if you look at a STOP sign, you will see the
word backwards (refer to the picture above).
• It’s easier to find objects when you move the telescope up
and down because up is still up, and down is still down.
They are not reversed.
• Practice moving the telescope slowly from side to side until
you can easily focus on an object.
Looking through your Telescope
There are many exciting things to discover with your telescope.
Remember, never look at the sun or any other bright light with your
telescope, because that can cause permanent, instant eye damage.
The best time to use your telescope is when the sun is behind you.
• Point your telescope at the top of a tall tree. Can you see the
leaves? Does the bark look smooth or rough? Can you find a bird’s
nest? Is there a squirrel in the tree, or a bird on a branch?
• Point your telescope at a tall building or the rooftop of a house.
Can you see if the building is made of stones, bricks, wood or
metal? Is there a chimney? What color are the bricks?
• Point your telescope at a garden. Can you focus on one flower?
Do you see any birds, animals or insects? What else can you find
in the garden? You may be able to watch birds perched on wires,
pulling worms from the grass, or splashing in a birdfeeder. How
many different birds can you see?
