Solar Warning
• Always use your telescope with adult supervision.
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or
with a telescope unless you have the proper solar filter.
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your telescope to project an image of the
Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can
damage the telescope and any accessories attached
to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel
wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope
can cause these devices to crack or break, allowing
unfiltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.
• Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially
when children are present or when adults unfamiliar
with the correct operating procedures of your telescope
are present.

Step 2: Attach the 3 tripod legs to the tripod hub by
screwing them into the threaded holes.
Assembly
Step 1: Remove all the parts form the box.

Step 3: Attach the main telescope tube to the tripod hub.
To do this, locate the threaded hole on the base of the main
telescope tube and the threaded rod on the top of the tripod
hub. Screw the rod into the hole.
Step 3: Point your telescope at the target you wish to view.
a. Adjust the ALTITUDE (up-and-down position) by loosening
the thumb screw on the bottom of the tripod hub and
angling the telescope up or down.
b. Adjust the AZIMUTH (horizontal position) by loosening
the tripod adjustment collar, rotating the telescope, and
then retightening the tripod adjustment collar once in
position.
Use Your Telescope
Step 4: Tighten and adjust by rotating the tripod adjustment
collar.
YOU ARE NOW READY TO USE YOUR TELESCOPE!
Step 1: When you are ready to view through your telescope,
remove the plastic cover on the eyepiece.
Step 2: Remove the dust cap.
Step 4: Look through the eyepiece and bring your subject
into focus by rotating the collar on the base of the eyepiece.

How does it work?
So, it’s called a Newtonian, because of who invented it. But
it’s also called a “reflector,” because of how it works. At the
heart of the Newtonian telescope is a system of mirrors that
gather and reflect light to your eye. Luckily, the Celestron
STEM Newtonian 50mm Telescope has a removable panel
on one side, so you can see the inner mirrors for yourself.
Here’s how the telescope works:
Your eyes take in light from the world around you and form
images that are sent to your brain, allowing you to SEE the
objects you are looking at. The Newtonian telescope uses
mirrors to reflect that light in a small space (the telescope
tube) and direct it through the eyepiece, magnifying the
object before it reaches your eye.
The light enters the telescope tube at the open end, travels
all the way to the primary mirror, at the opposite end of the
tube, where it is reflected to the secondary mirror. The
secondary mirror is mounted at a 45° angle, which diverts
the light to the eyepiece.
The eyepiece magnifies the image and passes the image to
your eye.

What is a Newtonian Telescope?
You might be asking “why is this called a Newtonian
telescope?” Well, it’s because it was invented by Sir Isaac
Newton himself. In case you didn’t know, Sir Isaac was one
of the world’s most renowned Scientists and Philosophers.
Around 1668, in-between formulating the laws of gravity,
advancing calculus and discovering that white light is made
up of ALL colors, he took some time to create a better
telescope design that would cut out “chromatic aberration”
(blurry images). He did this by removing lenses and replacing
them with mirrors. This basic design is still used today, some
350 years later!

Now that you know the history, get out there and use your Celestron Kids Newtonian Reflector telescope. Start by pointing at
the moon, or stars, and remember: NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH YOUR TELESCOPE. PERMANENT DAMAGE TO
YOUR EYES MAY RESULT
How to Determine your Telescope’s Magnification
To determine the magnification level of your telescope with a given eyepiece, use this simple calculator:
FOCAL LENGTH OF TELESCOPE (FL(T)) ÷ FOCAL LENGTH OF EYEPIECE (FL(EP)) = MAGNIFICATION (MAG)
FL(T) ÷ FL(EP) = MAG
Your Celestron Newtonian STEM Telescope has a 200mm focal length. The eyepiece included is a 10mm eyepiece. Can you
figure out what the magnification is?
