Recommendations

For best results, use the telescope in a dark location away from city lights. Allow the telescope to acclimate to outdoor temperatures for at least 30 minutes before observing. Start with the 20 mm eyepiece for wide-field views, then switch to the 10 mm for higher magnification. The included Barlow lens doubles the magnification of any eyepiece.
