Bushnell 78-6000 manual Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

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 changed phases from month to month. Some views of brilliant Venus appear 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. Much, much, more!

ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1.	The image I see in the telescope is upside down and	∙ An upside-down and reversed image is a
reversed from right to left ?		common characteristic of most astronomical
		telescopes. Since telescopes are used for
		astronomical viewing orientation is not important.
		The image in the finderscope will also be upside
		down and reversed.
2.	How do I determine the power my telescope ?	∙ The power of your telescope can be determine
		by dividing the focal length of the objective lens by
		the focal length of the eyepiece. The eyepiece focal
		length is the number printed on the eyepiece. (For
		example: 1200 ÷ 25 = 48X)
3.	Where do I find the Telescope Focal Length	∙ The telescope focal length is the same focal
		length as the objective focal length. For this
		telescope it is 1200mm. Telescope focal lengths
		range from 600mm to 1200mm on Bausch & Lomb
		and Bushnell telescopes.
4.	What can I see with my telescope ?	∙ Telescopes with power ranging from 25X to
		50X can be used to view Star Clusters and Nebulae.
		90X to 120X telescope can view galaxies. Most
		planets can be seen at any magnification.
5.	What do the numbers on the eyepiece mean ?	∙ The numbers on the eyepiece represents the
		“focal Length” of the eyepiece.
