Eyepieces and Focusing (Reflector Telescopes) - My Telescope Series

http://bit.ly/2J4GdhW My Telescope Series: Eyepieces and Focusing (Reflector Telescopes) Directed and Produced by Tommy DeJosia Choosing the proper eyepiece can make your star gazing experience easier and more fun. For both a reflector and a refractor telescope, you should start with a higher focal length eyepiece which is the lower magnification. Lower magnification eyepieces will provide you with a wider field of view. This makes spotting objects easier. Once you have found your target and locked your telescope in place, use your lower focal length eye piece for a closer look. To focus your Reflector Telescope, slowly turn the focusing knob until you see a crisp clear image and then stop. If you reach the end of the knob without seeing a clear image, it’s possible that you went too quick. Try slowly turning the knob to the other end, again. If the target is terrestrial and you didn’t see a crisp image, the target may be too close to view with a telescope. http://bit.ly/2Yw3w7U CarsonOptical May 19, 2019 at 10:43AM
