Observing Teams and Telescope Equipment Procedures

The CCC Astronomy class has six Orion SkyQuest XT6

telescopes. There are two dozen students, and hence, there will

be six teams of four students per telescope. For the semester,

each student will be assigned to a team 1 through 6. (Each

telescope, eyepiece case, and related reference materials, etc.

are also designated 1 through 6, respectively, and each teams'

equipment and materials should be maintained together.)

Each team will be responsible for their telescope, for

transporting, setting up, and observing with (and, of course for

maintaining their telescopes in good condition.) Note: In all

cases, never put your fingers on any optical surfaces (mirrors,

lenses, eyepieces, etc.)

1. Transporting Equipment

Transport activities to the observing site should be divided

between the students in each team as follows:

1. Carry the telescope tube and Dobsonian Mount by the mount handle.

Make sure: The two tension springs (on the telescope tube’s sides) are secured to the

mount before attempting to carry the telescope.

2. Eyepiece cases (contains three eyepieces [17mm, 25mm & 40mm], Barlow lens, and a

lunar polarizing filter.)

3. Reference Materials (Telescope manual with Planisphere, Lunar Atlas, and Night Watch

Observing Guide.)

2. Setting up the Telescope

1. Place the Telescope and firmly on the

ground, preferably on as flat a surface as

possible. Make sure: The eyepiece end is

facing up, and the eyepiece focuser, and

Telrad finder are accessible when the

telescope is tipped horizontally.

2. Remove the Telescope cover, and set it in a

safe place so it will not be stepped on.

3. Open the eyepiece case, select the 40mm

eyepiece, and place it in the telescopes'

focusing tube. Finger-tighten the set screws

to secure the eyepiece.

4. Select a bright object and focus the eyepiece using the

two knobs on either side of the eyepiece focuser.

5. Check the alignment of the Telrad finder and make any

needed corrections (Refer to Telrad finder section below

if necessary.)

Observing

For observing activities, each student will be given an

activity sheet. When performing an observing activity, each

student should make their own observations and record

their data on their own activity sheet.

Use the eyepieces, Barlow lens, and Filter as per the Activity sheet.

3. Closing-Down Procedures

1. Disassemble the telescope Tube and Mount.

2. Place all the Eyepieces, Barlow Lens, etc. back in the Eyepiece Case.

3. TURN OFF THE TELRAD *** This is very IMPORTANT to conserve the Battery ***

4. Return all items to the storage area in their proper locations.

5. Reassemble the telescope tube on their respective mounts.

4. Using the Telrad Finder

The Telrad finder is easy to use. Unlike most telescope finders, the Telrad does not magnify

the image. It works much as a rifle sight does by projecting a "Bulls-Eye", or three red

concentric rings, spaced at 4 degrees, 2 degrees, and 1/2 degree in diameter in which to

center the desired astronomical object.

Telrad Finder Alignment Procedure

1. With a low power eyepiece in the telescope,

locate a “test object”, such as a bright star or

planet.

2. Adjust the telescope to view the “test object”in

the center of the field of view.

3. Turn on the Telrad (on/off switch) and adjust the

brightness of the red concentric “Bulls-Eye”

reticle while looking through the Telrad.

4. Compare where the “test object” is in relation to

the Telrad “Bulls-Eye”. Adjust the three Reticle

Alignment screws (up/down & left/right) to center

the “test object” in the middle of the three red

concentric circles of the reticle (see photo

below.) You may have to check the view through

the eyepiece to make sure the “test object” has

not moved appreciably.
