Bushnell 78-9540 manual Answers To Commonly Asked Questions, Troubleshooting Guide

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 common
	reversed from right to left ?		characteristic of most astronomical telescopes. Since
			telescopes are used for astronomical viewing
			orientation is not important.	The	image in the
			finderscope will also be 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:
			1000 ÷ 25 = 40X)
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
			540mm. Telescope focal lengths range from 540mm
			to 900mm 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If after you have set-up your new telescope you are unable to see any objects, use this Quick

Reference guide to help you to understand the cause of the problem and quickly determine a remedy

1.I’ve completed the set-up yet I cannot see anything

∙Check to see if objective lens cover has been removed.

∙Try to view an object that is 200 or more yards away.

∙If there is more than one eyepiece included with the telescope, use the lowest power (highest number) eyepiece to begin viewing.

∙Use the Rack & Pinion Focusing Mechanism (3) to bring the object you are trying to view into focus
