This is one of the first telescopes ever created that actually speaks to you to educate you about the night sky. Consider this feature as your personal astronomy assistant. After reading through this manual and preparing for your observing session as outlined in these pages you can start enjoying the Real Voice Output feature by doing the following: To activate your telescope, simply turn it on! The Real Voice Output feature is built in to the remote control handset. Along the way the telescope will speak various helpful comments during the alignment process. Once aligned, the Real Voice Output feature will really shine anytime the enter key is depressed when an object name or number is displayed at the bottom right of the LCD viewscreen. That object description will be spoken to you as you follow along with the scrolling text description. If at anytime you wish to disable the speaking feature, you can cancel the speech by pressing the “Back” button on the remote control keypad. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy this telescope for years to come! NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN ❂ WITH YOUR TELESCOPE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY OCCUR WHERE DO I START? Your Bushnell telescope can bring the wonders of the universe to your eye. While this manual is intended to assist you in the set-up and basic use of this instrument, it does not cover everything you might like to know about astronomy. Although Discoverer will give a respectable tour of the night sky, it is recommended you get a very simple star chart and a flashlight with a red bulb or red cellophane over the end. For objects other than stars and constellations, a basic guide to astronomy is a must. Some recommended sources appear on our website at www.bushnell.com. Also on our website will be current events in the sky for suggested viewing. But, some of the standbys that you can see are: The Moon—a wonderful view of our lunar neighbor can be enjoyed with any magnification. Try viewing at different phases of the moon. Lunar highlands, lunar maria (lowlands called “seas” for their dark coloration), craters, ridges and mountains will astound you. Saturn—even at the lowest power you should be able to see Saturn’s rings and moons. This is one of the most satisfying objects in the sky to see simply because it looks like it does in pictures. Imagine seeing what you’ve seen in textbooks or NASA images from your backyard! Jupiter—the largest planet in our solar system is spectacular. Most noted features are its dark stripes or bands both above and below its equator. These are the north and south equatorial belts. Also interesting are Jupiter’s four major moons. Pay close attention to their positions from night to night. They appear to be lined up on either side of Jupiter. Mars—The Great Red Planet appears as a reddish-orange disk. Look at different times of the year and try to catch a glimpse of the white polar ice caps. Venus—just like the moon, Venus changes phases from month to month. At times Venus appears brilliantly in the night sky, just as if you were looking at a distant crescent moon. Nebulae—The Great Orion Nebula is a very well known night sky object. This and many others are brought to you by this telescope. Star Clusters—View millions of stars densely packed in a cluster that resembles a ball. Galaxies—One of the greatest and most interesting galaxies is our neighbor the Andromeda Galaxy. Enjoy this and many others.

PARTS LIST • Adjustable Aluminum Tripod Assembly • Red Dot Finderscope (Pre-assembled to Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Base) • 2 Eyepieces • Quick Release Accessory Tray • Barlow Lens (Reflectors Only) • Discoverer Telescope with finger attachment nuts • Diagonal (788970 Refractor Only) DEtailED ASSEMBLY No tools are required for assembly of your telescope. Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front of you before assembly. Since your telescope is a precision optical system the parts require careful handling—particularly the onboard computer, telescope, eyepieces, and various accessory lenses. SET UP TrIPOD AND ACCESSORY TrAY 1. Stand Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Assembly and attached tripod legs in the upright position. Spread tripod legs to a comfortable distance. 2. Fold down the accessory tray braces and place the Quick Release Accessory Tray on top of braces. (See Quick Assembly Diagram) 3. Turn accessory tray until it snaps into place. 4. Adjust tripod leg height to suit by opening tripod leg lever and extending tripod legs to desired height. ATTACH TELESCOPE TUBE 1. Locate Main Telescope Tube. 2. Remove Telescope Tube Thumb Nuts from side of Telescope Tube. 3. Position Main Telescope Tube Attachment Bolts through Telescope Tube Bracket at the top of the Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Assembly. (Logo on telescope tube should be right-side up.) 4. Reattach Telescope Tube Thumb Nuts to Main Telescope Tube Attachment Bolts once Main Telescope Tube and Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Assembly are assembled together. ATTACH FINAL TELESCOPE ACCESSORIES 1. Locate Red Dot Finderscope. NOTE: The large end of the finderscope should face the open end of telescope tube. 2. Attach Low Power Eyepiece. 3. Tighten all set screws to secure accessories. SELECTING AN EYEPIECE You should always start viewing with the lowest power eyepiece, which in this case is the 20 mm lens. Note: the base power of each eyepiece is determined by the focal length of the telescope objective lens. A formula can be used to determine the power of each eyepiece: telescope OBJECTIVE lens focal length divided by EYEPIECE focal length = MAGNIFICATION (e.g. Using the 20 mm lens, a sample calculation could look like this: 500 mm / 20 = 25x or 25 power. Telescope models will vary in focal length.) (Reflectors Only) Included with this telescope is a Barlow lens. Barlow lenses are used to double or triple the power of your telescope. Place your Barlow between the focusing tube and the eyepiece. Using the example above, your 3x Barlow lens would give you a total power of 75x or 75 power. (25 x 3 = 75x or 75power). The magnification calculation would look like this: 500 mm /20mm = 25 power. 25 power x 3=75 power. DEtailED ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED) M FOCUSING TELESCOPE 1. After selecting the desired eyepiece, aim main telescope tube at a land-based target at least 200 yards away (e.g. a telephone pole or building). 2. Fully extend Focusing Tube by turning Rack and Pinion Focusing Mechanism. 3. While looking through selected eyepiece (in this case the 20 mm), slowly retract Focusing Tube by turning Rack and Pinion Focusing Mechanism until object comes into focus. M ATTACH REMOTE COMPUTER CONTROLLER AND BATTERY 1. Locate Remote Computer Controller and coil cord. 2. Locate Battery Door on Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Base. 3. Remove Battery Door and insert one 9V battery. 4. Replace Battery Door. 5. Attach Remote Computer Controller with coil cord to Discoverer Computerized Star Locator Base. M ALIGNING FINDERSCOPE Look through Main Telescope Tube and establish a well-defined target. (see Focusing Telescope section) Remove plastic insulator from between Red Dot Finderscope battery and battery clip. Turn Red Dot Finderscope on. Looking through Red Dot Finderscope, turn adjustment wheels until the red dot is precisely centered on the same object already centered in Main Telescope Tube’s field of view. Now, objects located first with the Red Dot Finderscope will be centered in the field of view of the main telescope. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN ❂ WITH YOUR TELESCOPE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY OCCUR M ENJOYING YOUR NEW TELESCOPE 1. First determine your targeted object. Any bright object in the night sky is a good starting point One of the favorite starting points in astronomy is the moon. This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. 2. The first thing you need to do after assembling the telescope as planned is center the desired object in the finderscope’s cross hairs. Provided you did a reasonable job aligning the finderscope, a quick look through the main telescope tube at low power should reveal the same image. With the lowest power eyepiece (the one with the largest number printed on it) you should be able to focus the same image that you saw through the finderscope.

  • Meridional Flow Velocities on Solar-Like Stars with Known Activity
    Meridional flow velocities on solar-like stars with known activity cycles Dilyara Baklanova∗ Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Nauchny 298409, Crimea Sergei Plachinda Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Nauchny 298409, Crimea Abstract The direct measurements of the meridional flow velocities on stars are impossible today.

The overdensity corresponds to a Zone-of-Avoidance crossing of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster filament. Although it is known that this filament contains an X-ray galaxy cluster (3C 129) hosting two strong radio galaxies, little is known about galaxies associated with this potentially rich cluster because of the high Galactic dust extinction.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

You may already be trying to decide what you plan to look at first, once your telescope is setup and aligned. Any bright object in the night sky is a good starting point. One of the favorite starting points in astronomy is the moon. This is an object sure to please any budding astronomer or experienced veteran. When you have developed proficiency at this level, other objects become good targets. Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus are good second steps to take. 2. The low power eyepiece (the one with the largest number printed on it) is perfect for viewing the full moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, and even constellations. These should build your foundation. Avoid the temptation to move directly to the highest power. The low power eyepiece will give you a wider field of view, and brighter image—thus making it very easy to find your target object. However, for more detail, try bumping up in magnification to a higher power eyepiece on some of these objects. During calm and crisp nights, the light/dark separation line on the moon (called the “Terminator”) is marvelous at high power. You can see mountains, ridges and craters jump out at you due to the highlights. Similarly, you can move up to higher magnifications on the planets and nebulae.
