Galileo G-545 User manual

G-545

PRODUCED TO PRECISE SPECIFICATIONS.
PRIOR TO USING YOUR NEW GALILEO TELESCOPE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SETUP
AND USAGE INSTRUCTIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE
IN ORDER TO ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.
CONSIDER USING THE TELESCOPE FOR EARTH (TERRESTRIAL) VIEWING BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO VIEW ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS. THIS WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU WITH HOW
POWERFUL EACH EYEPIECE WILL BE, AS WELL AS INTRODUCING YOU TO THE FUNCTIONS
OF YOUR ACCESSORY LENSES.
WE RECOMMEND YOU BEGIN WITH THE LOWEST POWER EYEPIECE, 20MM, WHEN USING
YOUR TELESCOPE. AS YOU INCREASE THE POWER TO 6MM, YOUR POWER WILL BE HIGHER,
BUT THE IMAGE WILL APPEAR DARKER; THIS IS DUE TO THE BASIC PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF
THE TELESCOPE. THE HIGHER THE POWER YOU USE THE DARKER THE IMAGE WILL
APPEAR AND YOUR VIEWING FIELD WILL BE MORE NARROW.
PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN USING YOUR TELESCOPE. IT IS A VERY SENSITIVE INSTRUMENT
THAT IS CAPABLE OF USING HIGH POWERS. HOWEVER, THE MORE POWER YOU USE, THE
MORE SENSITIVE THE TELESCOPE BECOMES. AS A RESULT, THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF
THE TELESCOPE COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOSE THE IMAGE YOU HAVE IN YOUR EYEPIECE.
PRACTICE WILL ENABLE YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH MOVEMENT TO EXPECT WITH EACH
EYEPIECE AND IT'S CORRESPONDING POWER.
THIS TELESCOPE HAS BEEN CORRECTED AGAINST CHROMATIC ABERRATION AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TAKE THE TIME TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NEW TELESCOPE. LEARN THE
NAMES OF THE VARIOUS PARTS, WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED AND THEIR FUNCTION. IT
IS THE BEST TO PERFORM THESE FUNCTIONS DURING THE DAY TIME.
WHEN SETTING UP FOR A VIEWING SESSION, PLACE THE TELESCOPE IN AN AREA
SHELTERED FROM THE WIND IF POSSIBLE. THE BEST NIGHT TIME VIEWING WILL BE
AWAY FROM CITY LIGHT AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE IS "STEADY".
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE YOU WILL LEARN TO JUDGE WHEN VIEWING CONDITIONS
ARE GOOD. LOOK FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE STARS SHINE BRIGHTLY WITH LITTLE
OR NO TWINKLING.
USE LOW POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE WIDER FIELD OF VIEW AND BRIGHTER
IMAGE. RESERVE YOUR HIGH POWERS FOR THE NIGHTS WHEN THE VIEWING
CONDITIONS ALLOW FOR DETAILED OBSERVATIONS.

2. ADJUST TRIPOD TO PROPER HEIGHT BY LOOSENING,
ADJUSTING AND TIGHTENING THE LOCKING KNOBS.
3. REMOVE TELESCOPE AND MOUNT FROM CARTON.
NOTE: THEY COME PRE-ASSEMBLED FROM THE FACTORY.
4. LOOSEN MOUNTING KNOB ON THE TELESCOPE
MOUNT.
5. PLACE THE TELESCOPE AND MOUNT ASSEMBLY
ONTO THE TOP OF THE TRIPOD.
6. TIGHTEN LOCKING KNOB SECURELY.
REMOVE PRE-ASSEMBLED TRIPOD
CAUTION: NEVER POINT YOUR TELESCOPE
AT THE SUN. VIEWING THE SUN WITH
THIS TELESCOPE OR EVEN THE UNAIDED
EYE CAN RESULT IN BLINDNESS OR OTHER
SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE.

20MM IDEALLY SUITED FOR ALL TERRESTRIAL AND ASTRONOMICAL VIEWING.
6MM EYEPIECE IS RECOMMENDED FOR NIGHTS OF STEADY SEEING.
PROPER PLACEMENT OF THE EYEPIECES AND ACCESSORIES IS IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO
ASSURE EASY OPERATIONS AND CLEAR VIEWING.
PLEASE USE THE ACCESSORIES IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER. BY DOING THIS, YOU WILL
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT EACH INDIVIDUAL ACCESSORY HAS ON THE FUNCTION
OF YOUR TELESCOPE.
HOW TO USE EYEPIECES & ACCESSORIES
1) FOCUSING TUBE
TURN FOCUSING WHEELS TOWARD THE
TELESCOPE UNTIL IT WILL NOT GO FURTHER.
TO FOCUS BEGIN TO TURN THE FOCUSING
KNOBS TOWARD YOUR BODY, SLOWLY, UNTIL
THE IMAGE IS CLEAR. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE
AN EYEPIECE AND DIAGONAL PRISM
INSERTED IN ORDER TO VIEW IMAGE.
2) DIAGONAL PRISM
INSERT THE DIAGONAL PRISM INTO THE
FOCUSING HOUSING.
3) EYEPIECE INSERTION
AFTER THE DIAGONAL PRISM IS INSERTED,
PLACE THE EYEPIECE (20MM) INTO THE
DIAGONAL PRISM. THE LOWER THE NUMBER
ON THE EYEPIECE, THE HIGHER THE POWER
YOUR TELESCOPE WILL BE USING. PLUS,
YOU DECREASE THE FIELD OF VIEW AND
THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR IMAGE. WHEN
USING EYEPIECES, WE SUGGEST ALWAYS
STARTING WITH THE LOWEST POWER AND
THEN GOING UP.

3X20 FINDERSCOPE

3X20MM BLACK CROSSHAIR FINDERSCOPE W/BRACKET MAGNIFIES IMAGE
IN VIEW FINDER 3 TIMES CLOSER. 20MM DIAMETER FRONT LENS AND CROSS
HAIR RETICLE TO LOCATE OBJECTS DAY OR NIGHT.
3 SCREWS ON THE BRACKET FOR SIMPLE ADJUSTING. SIMPLY PLACE YOUR
TARGET IN THE CENTER OF THE RETICLE SO YOU CAN ADJUST THE
FINDERSCOPE TO BE EXACTLY IN LINE WITH YOUR TELESCOPE.
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN USING THE FINDERSCOPE DURING THE DAY,
THE IMAGE YOU SEE WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS. THIS
IS NORMAL FOR DAY TIME USE (AS THERE IS NO RIGHT SIDE UP IN SPACE).
