Setting Up Your FunScope

Care For Your FunScope

Carefully take the FunScope out of

its box. Remove the plastic wrap

from the FunScope, eyepiece, and

base.

Never point the FunScope at the

Sun! You can seriously hurt your

eyes!

Bring the FunScope inside when

you are finished using it. Treat your FunScope carefully. It

could break if you drop it or treat it

roughly

Don’t touch or drop anything

inside the FunScope. Always hold

the eyepiece by its side; don’t

touch the lenses.

Place the “fat end” of the FunScope

on the base. Remove the front cap

and set it aside.

Remove the eyepiece cap and set it

aside. Insert the eyepiece by

twisting it clockwise into the

FunScope

Save the box! It makes a handy

carrying case.

Astronomical objects will move

slowly out of the eyepiece view.

This is because as the Earth rotates,

objects in the sky seem to move

from East to West. You can follow

them by gently moving the

FunScope.

Using Your FunScope

How to Use Your FunScope During the Day

Point your FunScope at what you

want to look at by swiveling it on its

base. Or hold it with both hands

and point it at the object.

When looking at things during the

day, you can use the FunScope on

its base. But things might be easier

if …

...you hold it in your hands. Or you

cradle it in your lap. Whatever you look at, it should be

at least 15 feet away to focus

sharply.

Just remember, never point the

FunScope at the Sun!

Look into the eyepiece. Push the

“tube” of the FunScope up, down,

left or right to center your target in

the eyepiece.

If what you see is blurry, focus the

image by turning

the eyepiece.

Using the FunScope at Night: Part 1

Using the FunScope at Night: Part 2

Find a safe place without a lot of

lights. City and streetlights can

wash out stars in the sky.

Let your eyes adapt! The longer

you stay in the dark, the better

your eyes become at seeing dim

stars. Just watch how many stars

come into view as you hang

outside in the dark.

Keep your eyes open. If you close

one eye the other one may squint.

Instead, keep both eyes open and

cover one eye with your hand if

you need to.

Get to know the stars! Use a star

map or planisphere to help you

identify constellations and stars.

That way you’ll know what is

located where in the night sky.

Keep a journal of the things

you’ve looked at. Draw sketches

of what you see and compare

them to other objects you’ve

viewed.

Don’t look through a window. The

difference between the warm air

inside and the colder air outside

will spoil your views.

Don’t look over rooftops. The heat

rising from the house can mess up

your view.

Avoid nights with a full Moon. It

may seem like a good thing to

look at, but it’s all washed out.

You’ll see more craters when the

Moon is not full.

Planets! Saturn and Jupiter are best,

but don’t neglect Venus and Mars.

You’ll need an updated star map

from a computer program or

internet site to find the planets on a

particular night.

What Can I Look At?

How Does the FunScope Work?

Wildlife, birds, owls, butterflies, and

airplanes flying overhead! Just

about anything that you can see

can be seen up close with the

FunScope.

At the bottom of the FunScope

there is a specially curved 3” mirror.

This mirror can gather about 120

times more light than your own

eye.

The special curve of this mirror

(called a parabola) concentrates

that light so it will hit the smaller,

flat mirror near the top of the

FunScope.

The small mirror reflects the light

out to the eyepiece. The eyepiece

then focuses all that light so you

can see an image.

The eyepiece magnifies the object

by 30 times, compared to what

your eyes normally see.

The Moon! You’ll see tons of craters

and mountains. Remember, the

view is better when the Moon is

only partly full.

“Deep space” objects beyond our

solar system, such as star clusters,

glowing nebulas, and even the

Andromeda Galaxy!

Other Tips

Use a planisphere or star map to

help locate objects in the night sky.

Online planispheres and computer

programs can help with planets.

Dress warmly! It can get cold at

night and you can’t see well when

you’re shivering.

Practice! Practice! Practice! The

more you play with your

FunScope, the easier it will be to

use, and the more fun you will

have.

Attend your local astronomy

club’s meeting and star parties.

It’s one of the best ways to learn!
