Technical Data - Bresser Skylux 70 Mode D'emploi

ter is the use of compressed air from a can. If your telescope has
collected dust or moisture internally, do not try to clean it yourself
but return it directly to your local specialist.
Don't clean the telescope's optics too often. Doing this, may
result in damaged coatings. If you telescope should have become
dusty from the inside, don't attempt to clean it on your own but
consult your local dealer or BRESSER centre of your country.
Appendix
1. Possible observation targets
In the following, we like to present to you a choice of very inter-
esting and easy-to-find celestial objects. On the depending pic-
tures at the end of the manual you will see how they will appear
in the eyepiece of your telescope:
The moon (Fig. 21)
The moon is the only natural satellite of the earth.
Diameter: 3,476 km
Distance: 384.000 km (average)
The moon is well-known since thousands of years. He is the sec-
ond-brightest celestial object after the sun. Because the moon
circles around the earth, he changes periodically its inclination
to the sun; therefore we see changing phases. The time for one
complete lunation is 29.5 days (709 hours).
Constellation Orion: The great Orion nebula / M 42 (Fig. 22)
Right Ascension: 05h 33' (hours : minutes)
Declination: -05° 25' (Degrees : minutes)
Distance: 1.500 light years
Though it is 1,500 light years away, the Orion nebula (M 42) is
the brightest nebula object at the sky – visible even with naked
eyes and a worthwhile object for telescopes of all kinds and
sizes. It consists of a gigantic cloud of hydrogen gas with a diam-
eter of hundreds of light years, taking a field on the sky of 10°.
Constellation Lyra: The Ring Nebula / M 57 (Fig. 23)
Right Ascension: 18h 52'
Declination: +32° 58'
Distance: 4.100 light years
The famous Ring Nebula is often called the prototype of plan-
etary nebulae; he belongs to the northern hemisphere summer
sky's pieces of splendour. Recent investigations have shown that
he is a ring of light-emitting matter that surrounds its central star
(only visible in bigger telescopes). If one could look onto its top,
he would see a structure like the Dumbbell Nebular / M 27.
Constellation Vulpecula (little fox):
The Dumbbell Nebula / M 27 (Fig. 24)
Right Ascension: 19h 59'
Declination: +22° 43'
Distance: 1.250 light years
The Dumbbell Nebula / M 27 was the first planetary nebula ever
found. On July 12th, 1764, Charles Messier discovered this new
and fascinating class of objects. We can see it directly from its
equatorial pane. If it could be viewed from top, we would appear
like the Ring Nebula / M 57. This Object can even be viewed at
average weather conditions at low magnifications.
