Orion Nebula (M42) LS TIPS Observing Considerations • Try to pick an observing site away from street and house lights and car headlights. While this is not always possible, the darker the site, the better. • Try not to use a standard flashlight. Experienced observers use red LED flashlights, the red utility light on the AutoStar III handbox, or tape red cellophane over their flashlights to use for setup and map reading so they don't have to continually readjust their eyes to the darkness. Be careful not to shine bright lights if there are other observers in the area. Do not shine a flashlight into the telescope while someone is observing! • Dress warmly. It gets chilly when you're sitting for prolonged periods. • Practice setting up your equipment during the day or in a lighted area to become familiar with it before going to a dark site. • Use your 26mm eyepiece to view terrestrial objects and wider areas of space, such as open star clusters. Use optional higher power eyepieces, such as a 9mm eyepiece, when you wish to view something up close, such as craters on the Moon or the rings of Saturn. INDEX AUTOSTAR III HANDBOX 22
