Using this telescope is easy. First, find a stable surface and set up the aluminum tabletop tripod. Attach the refractor telescope to the tripod. Look through the finderscope to align it with your target, like the Moon or a planet. Then, use the precision focus adjustment knob on the telescope to get a clear view. You can switch between the low - power (20 mm) and high - power (40 mm) eyepieces depending on what you're observing. Remember to keep the dust covers on when not in use to protect the lenses. Clean the glass optical lenses gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store the telescope in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If you're using it at night, give the telescope some time to adjust to the outside temperature for better viewing. Enjoy your astronomical observations!
