I have bought a funny little scope on a flea market, that seems to be very rare here in Germany. Its a Bausch & Lomb Criterion 4000 (4" SCT) including a rifle-type finder scope and a 24mm kellner(?) eyepiece. I even did not star-test ist. So, can anybody tell me anything about this instrument, e.g. f-ratio, expectable quality, approx. manufacturing time etc. Thank in advance Chris just got this stuff from auction its comes two lance 18mm and 30mm but when i look at sky at night i don't see anythings can some one help me ? |

In the daytime, point it (using the 30mm eyepiece) at a distant subject and focus until it's clear. Leave it. At night, point the scope at a light source and align the finderscope with the main scope. Once done, you should be able to point it at any object you see with your eye. If the moon is out, try it. You should only need to refocus a bit as an object at infinity in the daytime is going to be close to focus things in the sky at night. Once you learn how to focus the scope with the low power (30mm eyepiece) you can use the higher power 18mm eyepiece. |

In the daytime, point it (using the 30mm eyepiece) at a distant subject and focus until it's clear. Leave it. You might as well align the finder scope on a distant church spire too. It won't be all that far out if you use a TV antenna just a few streets away or the top of a chimney. Anything to get it close is worhtwhile. At night, point the scope at a light source and align the finderscope with the main scope. Once done, you should be able to point it at any object you see with your eye. If the moon is out, try it. You should only need to refocus a bit as an object at infinity in the daytime is going to be close to focus things in the sky at night. Once you learn how to focus the scope with the low power (30mm eyepiece) you can use the higher power 18mm eyepiece. Beginners tend to find there is a lot of empty sky with not much in it and struggle when moving a astronomical scope with the inverted image. There are plenty of nice bright planets not that far off the horizon after dark too. Brighter objects have the advantage that you can tell which way to move from the glare. -- Regards, Martin Brown |
