Point the telescope at the Moon and prepare to be amazed as craters, mountains, seas, and ridges look quite spectacular. Saturn will appear as a small ball with its rings looking like tiny ears, while near Jupiter’s disk, you’ll be able to make out its four main moons. The telescope will also reveal deep-space objects. For example, the Beehive Cluster and the Great Hercules Cluster will break up into twinkling stars right before your eyes.
Want some variety? Point the telescope at the horizon to explore Earth’s landscapes with a view just like looking through a spyglass. To take a clear photo without touching the device, press the button on the Bluetooth remote shutter from your smartphone. You can share your photos with friends directly from your phone’s gallery in an instant.
Operating the telescope is very simple. Just place your hand on the pan handle and point the telescope at your target. You don’t need any prior knowledge or skills to start photographing space and nature.
