  • C5 Spotting Scope XLT 52291
    C5 Spotting Scope - #52291 Instruction Manual A spotting scope is nothing more than a telescope that is designed to look around the Earth. Unlike astronomical telescopes, which produce inverted or reverted images, spotting scopes produce correctly oriented images. Celestron offers several different models, each of which uses the highest quality optics to produce the best possible images. All models have rugged, durable housings to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a minimal amount of maintenance. Your Celestron spotting scope is designed to give you hours of fun and rewarding observations. There are, however, a few things to consider before using your spotting scope that will ensure your safety and protect your equipment. • Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. • Never use your spotting scope to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage your spotting scope and/or any accessories attached to it. • Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build- up inside your spotting scope can cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye. • Never leave your spotting scope unsupervised, either when children are present or adults who may not be familiar with the correct operating procedures of your spotting scope. • Never point your spotting scope at the Sun unless you have the proper solar filter. We recommend Celestron solar filters only. Don't take chances -- use Celestron filters for safety and performance! When using your spotting scope with the proper solar filter, ALWAYS cover the finderscope.

Box 1815, Santa Cruz, CA 95061 IN 265 Rev. A 8/05 Congratulations on your purchase of an Orion Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope! The Schmidt-Cassegrain opti- cal system uses a combination of mirrors and lenses and is referred to as a compound or catadioptric telescope. This unique design offers large-diameter optics while maintaining very short tube lengths, making them extremely portable and versatile. The Schmidt-Cassegrain system consists of a zero-power corrector plate, a spherical primary mirror, and a secondary mirror. Once light rays enter the optical system, they travel the length of the optical tube three times, exiting through a hole in the center of the primary mirror to the eyepiece. Orion-brand Schmidt-Cassegrain tube assemblies are made by Celestron International in the U.S.A. The optics feature Starbright® XLT coatings -- enhanced multi-layer coatings on the primary and secondary mirrors for increased reflectivity and a fully coated corrector for the finest anti-reflection characteristics. Unpacking Your Scope Inserting a Star Diagonal Use case when unpacking the shipping carton. We recom- A star diagonal is a prism that diverts the light at a right angle mend keeping the boxes and all original packaging materi- to the light path of the telescope. This allows you to observe als.

Observer 60 Ultra Parts Diagram 2 Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Orion telescope! Your new Observer 60mm Ultra Altazimuth Refractor is designed primarily for astronomical viewing, but can also be used for terrestrial observation (with the recommended addition of an image-erecting prism). If you have never used a telescope before, we would like to welcome you to amateur astronomy. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the night sky. Learn to recognize the patterns of stars in the major constellations; a star wheel, or planisphere, available from Orion or your local telescope shop, will greatly help. With a little practice, a little patience, and a reasonably dark sky away from city lights, you'll find your telescope to be a never-ending source of wonder, exploration, and relaxation. These instructions will help you set up and properly use and care for your telescope. Please read them over thoroughly before getting started. Table of Contents 1.

  • The Galileoscope: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    Revised & Expanded From AAC Newsletter FirstLight (2009 Sep/Oct) The Galileoscope: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Howard L. Cohen The Galileoscope is purportedly a high-quality, low-cost refracting telescope kit developed for the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Many will be given away to children and adults to learn how telescopes work and operate, and to repeat some of the celestial observations that Galileo made 400 years ago. How well does the Galileoscope work is the subject of this review he Galileoscope™ is advertised as a high-quality, low-cost refracting telescope kit developed for the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Merrit Models and Ta group of astronomers, optical engineers and science educators developed this kit (www.galileoscope.org) in conjunction with the International Year of Astronomy 2009. The “Galileoscope” is also a Cornerstone P r o j e c t o f t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Astronomical Union (IAU), the worldwide coordinator of the IYA2009 celebration (www.astronomy2009.or g). This kit allows one to assemble a 50-mm (2-inch) diameter, 25- to Figure 1. The Galileoscope. This low-cost kit enables the user to build a 50-mm 50-power achromatic refractor telescope. The length of the optical tube including dew cap is about 22 refractor (Fig. 1). Since inches. the IYA2009 marks the 400th anniversary of the first use of an astronomical telescope by Galileo, the manufacturer claims “You can see the celestial wonders that Galileo Galilei first glimpsed 400 years ago that still delight stargazers today.” Promotions state, “The Galileoscope is more than a telescope—it’s a strategic initiative to improve math, science and technology literacy worldwide.” The Galileoscope web site also states that not everyone has a telescope, especially in less developed parts of the world.

  • Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly
    Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly Instruction Manual C8 ● C9.25 ● C11 ● C14 1 A telescope is an instrument that collects and focuses light. The nature of the optical design determines how the light is focused. Some telescopes, known as refractors, use lenses. Other telescopes, known as reflectors, use mirrors. The Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system (or Schmidt-Cass for short) uses a combination of mirrors and lenses and is referred to as a compound or catadioptric telescope. This unique design offers large-diameter optics while maintaining very short tube lengths, making them extremely portable. The Schmidt-Cassegrain system consists of a zero power corrector plate, a spherical primary mirror, and a secondary mirror. Once light rays enter the optical system, they travel the length of the optical tube three times. The optics of the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes have Starbright® coatings - enhanced multi-layer coatings on the primary and secondary mirrors for increased reflectivity and a fully coated corrector for the finest anti-reflection characteristics.
