We have one very important rule that you should always follow when using your telescope:
Have Fun!
Have a good time when you’re observing.
You may not know everything that there is to know about a
telescope or what all the sights in the universe are, but that’s OK. Just point and observe at first. You will
enjoy your telescope the
you practice and learn more about it. Galileo, who is one of the first astronomers
to use a telescope, discovered four of the moons of Jupiter with a telescope about the same size as yours-
-and his didn’t even focus very well!
Don’t be scared off by difficult terms or complicated procedures. Don’t panic! Just relax and enjoy your
scope. Utilize the internet and books to learn about constellations, stars, planets and the hobby overall.
Don’t
stress
Have fun!
