Once assembled, your AstroMaster 130EQ is ready for observation. This section covers the basics of locating and tracking celestial objects.
Using the StarPointer™ Red Dot Finderscope
The StarPointer™ red dot finderscope helps you quickly locate objects in the night sky. Align the red dot with your desired target, and it should appear in your telescope's eyepiece. Ensure the finderscope is properly aligned with the main telescope during daylight hours by pointing at a distant, stationary object.
Selecting Eyepieces
Your telescope comes with two eyepieces: a 20mm and a 10mm. The 20mm eyepiece provides a wider field of view and lower magnification (33x), ideal for locating objects and observing larger celestial bodies like the Moon. The 10mm eyepiece offers higher magnification (65x) for more detailed views of planets and smaller deep-sky objects. Always start with the lower magnification (20mm) eyepiece to find your target, then switch to the higher magnification (10mm) for closer inspection.
ഖഗോളവസ്തുക്കൾ ട്രാക്കുചെയ്യുന്നു
The German equatorial mount allows for precise tracking of celestial objects as they appear to move across the sky due to Earth's rotation. Use the slow-motion control knobs for fine adjustments in both right ascension and declination to keep objects centered in your field of view. This is particularly useful for extended observations of planets and the Moon.
Enhancing Your Stargazing Experience
To further enhance your stargazing, consider utilizing the Celestron SkyPortal mobile app (available for iOS and Android) and the included Starry Night astronomy software. These tools can help you identify objects, plan observing sessions, and learn more about the cosmos.
മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AstroMaster 130EQ telescope.
- ക്ലീനിംഗ് ഒപ്റ്റിക്സ്: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. Avoid touching the optical surfaces with your fingers. For stubborn smudges, use a specialized optical cleaning solution sparingly.
- പൊതുവായ ശുചീകരണം: Wipe down the telescope tube and mount with a soft, damp തുണി. ഉരച്ചിലുകളുള്ള ക്ലീനറുകളോ ലായകങ്ങളോ ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത്.
- സംഭരണം: Store the telescope in a dry, dust-free environment. If possible, keep it in its original packaging or a padded case to protect it from impacts and dust.
- കോളിമേഷൻ: As a Newtonian reflector, the mirrors may occasionally require collimation (alignment). While the telescope is factory-collimated, minor adjustments might be needed over time. Refer to advanced guides or the Celestron support website for detailed collimation procedures.

|---|---|---|
| ചിത്രം മങ്ങിയതോ ഫോക്കസിന് പുറത്തോ ആണ്. | ഫോക്കസർ ശരിയായി ക്രമീകരിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. | Adjust the focuser knob slowly until the image is sharp. Ensure the eyepiece is fully inserted. |
| വസ്തുക്കൾ കണ്ടെത്താൻ കഴിയുന്നില്ല. | Finderscope not aligned with the main telescope. | Align the StarPointer™ red dot finderscope during daylight hours on a distant, stationary object. |
| വസ്തുക്കൾ പുറത്തേക്ക് ഒഴുകുന്നു view വേഗം. | Earth's rotation; equatorial mount not properly aligned or tracking. | Use the slow-motion control knobs to track objects. For prolonged viewing, ensure the equatorial mount is polar aligned. |
| ചിത്രം കാണുന്നില്ല. | Dust cap still on the objective lens or eyepiece. | Remove all dust caps from the telescope and eyepiece. Ensure the focuser is not racked all the way in or out. |
