How Do You Use A Celestron C4.5 Astronomical Telescope?
Whether you want to take astronomy seriously, or just gaze up into the night sky, the Celestron C4.5 telescope can do what you need. The C4.5 is a Newtonian reflector telescope, meaning it uses a large cylinder to collect light and direct it at a mirror at its base. The light is then directed to a second mirror, which sends it through the eyepiece. For anyone who has only used refractor or compound telescopes, the operation of a Newtonian reflector telescope might not be obvious. Slide an eyepiece into the eyepiece holder located on the top of the telescope. The chrome part of the eyepiece will slide into the holder. Turn the screw on the side of the eyepiece holder to tighten the eyepiece into place. The higher the number on the side of the eyepiece, the less magnification it has, so choose one according to your needs. It is better to use lower magnification first, since it’s easier to find celestial objects when using a larger field of view. Turn the switch, called the right ascensio
