Eyepiece Cap
(Refractors)
Take off the objective lens
cap and eyepiece cap.
The location of the cap
on your telescope may
differ from model to model.
Do you know where on the
telescope to look through?
Do you know where the
front of the telescope is?
Refer to the figures shown
on the right.
Astronomical telescopes need eyepieces (ocular lenses) to view images. Confirm where on the
telescope you insert the eyepiece. This may differ from model to model.
Insert a long focal length eyepiece (large number in millimeters, low power) into the eyepiece
holder and secure it with the setscrew. Refer to
Hint 6 .
When a flip mirror is provided with the telescope, the eyepiece can be attached on either side: straight
-thru or right-angled. Make sure that the light rays passing through the telescope enter your eyepiece
by turning the mirror shift knob.
