Your Bausch & Lomb Telescope is now ready to be used. To obtain the fullest enjoyment from
your telescope, please refer to the following additional information.
Astronomical Telescopes are designed in such a way that the image you will see appear will be
UPSIDE DOWN and REVERSED, this is acceptable for viewing celestial bodies.
TELESCOPE USE
SELECTING AN EYEPIECE:
1. You should always start viewing with the lowest power eyepiece, which in this case is the 25
mm lens. Note: the base power of each eyepiece is determined by the focal length of the
telescope objective element, which for this model is 1000 mm. A formula can be used to
determine the power of each eyepiece: telescope OBJECTIVE mirror focal length
EYEPIECE focal length = MAGNIFICATION (e.g. Using the 25 mm lens, the calculation
would look like this: 1000 mm ÷ 25mm = 40x or 40 power.)
2. Included with this telescope is a Barlow lens. Barlow lenses are used to double or triple the
power of your telescope. Place your Barlow between the focusing tube and the eyepiece.
Using the example above, your 2x Barlow lens would give you a total power of 80x or 80
power. (40 x 2 = 80x or 80 power)
