You may have bought your favorite telescope, but amid your euphoria, you may find that you don’t know how to start using one.  The use of a telescope is first to tune, so learn this guide to understand the telescope commissioning procedures, before further learning how to start using the telescope.  

Telescope commissioning procedures  

It is very important to use a telescope correctly, so you need to adjust the telescope properly before using it.  Here are the steps to debug the telescope:  

(1) Open the telescope cover  

First, open the telescoping lid.  

(2) Adjust the focal length of the telescope  

The focal length of the telescope can be adjusted to suit different needs.  In general, the shorter the focal length of a telescope, the higher resolution can be obtained.  Too long a focal length will result in blurred images.  

For example, if you want to take a picture of something far away, you can set the focal length to the maximum.  This will give you a sharper image.  However, if you want to take pictures close by, set the focal length to the minimum.  This avoids image blurring.  

Typically, the focal length of a telescope is between 500 mm and 1000 mm.  If you are not sure whether the focal length of your telescope is in the right position, use a focal length ruler.  

A focal length ruler is a tool used to measure the focal length of a telescope.  It is usually a strip of metal, and the wider the focal length, the narrower the strip.  The focal length scale is mounted inside the tube of a telescope, and when you see an object, it appears on the focal length scale.  

The focal length scale is mounted inside the tube of a telescope, and when you see an object, it appears on the focal length scale.  The wider the focal length scale, the more accurate the bar.  This is because, when the focal length is larger, the object is less clear.  The focal length scale is usually 1/10 or 1/20 the width of the focal length of the telescope.  

(3) Choose the right view  

Choosing the right field of view is important, and if you choose the wrong field of view, it will affect the performance of the telescope.  It is very important to choose the right field of view according to the size and location of the target.  If the goal is too small, choose a smaller field of vision.  If the goal is too big, choose a larger field of vision.  At the same time, depending on the location of the target to determine the size and direction of the field of vision.  

For example, if a small target is selected in the distance, the telescope’s beam is wasted and the field of vision is blurred.  The correct choice should take into account the aperture, focal length, and field of view of the telescope.  The larger the caliber, the wider the field of vision;  The longer the focal length, the clearer the field of vision.  

(4) Observe the target and aim the telescope at the target  

We can observe various aspects of a target through a telescope.  For example, we can observe the shape, size, color, and so on of the target.  In addition, we can observe the environment around the target.  

Looking through telescopes at various aspects of a target helps us understand it better.  For example, observing the size of a target can help us determine its distance.  By observing the color of the object, we can judge its nature.  Note the position and size of the target and note its features, slowly pointing the telescope at the target.  

(5) Adjust the caliber  

It takes a lot of time and effort to calibrate a telescope, so we need to consider many factors.  The aperture of a telescope determines its field of view.  The bigger the caliber, the wider the field of view.  However, the larger the telescope, the heavier and more expensive it is.  Therefore, choosing the right telescope diameter is very important.  

The aperture of the telescope can be adjusted according to the needs of the user to suit the different field of view requirements.  For example, if you need to enlarge your field of view, choose a larger aperture;  If you need a wider field of view, choose a smaller caliber.  

In addition, the aperture of the telescope can be adjusted according to the skill level of the user.  For example, if the user is just learning how to use a telescope, they can choose a smaller aperture, which gives them better control over the telescope’s field of view.  If the user is already familiar with how to use a telescope, he can choose a larger aperture to improve the magnification of the telescope.
