The whole point of having a telescope is to be able to view distant objects--clearly. If you don't adjust the focus, however, you'd do just as well squinting.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Sky-Watcher SK MAK series telescope

Step1
Select the object you wish to view and position the telescope.
Step2
Rotate the knobs located under the focuser until the image is sharp.
Step3
Repeat the above step whenever you change the lens or target a new object.

Tips & Warnings

  • You might have to adjust the image slightly as time passes. Even minute changes in the temperature and flexures can alter the focus.
  • Never use your telescope to look directly at the sun. It can damage your eyes or even blind you.
