Application Byomic Junior Telescope 40/400

The Byomic Junior Telescope 40/400 is a telescope for the beginning, mainly young astronomer. It is a lightweight model that comes with a durable aluminium tripod. The telescope is equipped with a compass to help determine the position of celestial bodies. With this telescope, the youthful astronomer has a nice specimen at his or her disposal that he or she can use to look, under supervision, at planets and stars that are relatively close to us in the universe.

Eyepieces

Two eyepieces are supplied, one with a focal length of 20 mm and one with a focal length of 12.5 mm, which allow magnifications of 20x and 32x respectively.

It is advisable to start with a small magnification and then increase it. If you start immediately with a high magnification (12.5 mm eyepiece), the results will usually not be satisfactory.

If an eyepiece is used with a high focal length and therefore low magnification, the eye will catch more light, resulting in a clearer image than if a high magnification is used with a low focal length.

With the aid of the viewfinder, the telescope can easily be directed towards a particular celestial body. When the viewfinder is at the same level as the telescope, you will be able to trace a celestial body by looking through the viewfinder. If you now look through the eyepiece, you will get the same image, only much closer. To adjust the finder to your telescope, you can do this during the day using a lamppost at 200 metres. You can then position the finder so that you see the same subject when looking through both the eyepiece and the finder.
