Pointing your telescope

Azimuthal mounting means that you can move your telescope up and down, left and right.
With the height adjustment wheel (7) and the turnable azimuth mount, you can point the telescope at any object you
want. Use the wheel (7) to tilt the telescope up and down. By using the azimuth mount like a turntable you can pan the
telescope to the left and to the right.
Which eyepiece is right?
It is important that you always choose an eyepiece with the highest focal width for the beginning of your observation.
Afterwards, you can gradually move to eyepieces with smaller focal widths. The focal width is indicated in millimeters,
and it is written on each eyepiece. In general, the larger the focal width of an eyepiece, the smaller the magnification.
There is a simple formula for calculating the magnification:
Focal width of the telescope tube / Focal width of the eyepiece
= Magnification
