- Removing Dust Caps: Gently remove the protective dust caps from both ends of the eyepiece.
- Inserting into Focuser: Insert the chrome barrel of the eyepiece into the focuser of your telescope. Ensure your focuser is compatible with 1.25" eyepieces.
- Securing the Eyepiece: Tighten the thumbscrew(s) on the focuser to securely hold the eyepiece in place. Do not overtighten.

Once the eyepiece is installed and focused, you can begin your observations. The 6.5mm focal length provides high magnification, making it excellent for detailed views of lunar craters, planetary features, and smaller deep-sky objects.
- Adjusting Eye Relief: The eyepiece features a twist-up eyecup. Adjust it to a comfortable height that allows you to see the entire field of view without vignetting. Eyeglass wearers may prefer to keep the eyecup fully retracted.
- Using Averted Vision: For faint objects, try looking slightly to the side of the object rather than directly at it. This technique, known as averted vision, utilizes the more light-sensitive parts of your eye, potentially revealing fainter details.
- Pozorování: Take your time to observe. Allow your eyes to adapt to the darkness. Slight adjustments to the focuser may be necessary as atmospheric conditions change or as your eyes adapt.
Údržba
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your eyepiece.
- Čištění optiky:
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove loose dust particles from the lens surfaces.
- For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of optical cleaning fluid to a clean, lint-free optical cloth or lens tissue. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion from the center outwards. Avoid excessive pressure.
- Never touch the optical surfaces with your fingers.
