Using Your Telescope To See Different Planets
When people buy telescope their main aim is to
identify different planets and other heavenly
bodies in the sky. Based upon the type and
quality of the telescope you have, the clarity of
your vision will depend. So how can you use your
equipment to get the best look at the sky and
find the planet of your choice? There are
different steps in the process and knowing about
them will help you in this regard besides
troubleshooting the various related issues
successfully.

• While it is possible to spot the planets, using
  any of the telescopes higher quality, and
  magnification naturally signifies a better view.
• When starting, your first step is to choose a
  plan that that you wish to view with your
  telescope. Check setting and rising times for
  your locality to know the different visible
  planets. Now you can make observations based on
  that.
• The exact location of the planet you want to view
  during observation is important. So make sure
  that you take your time to find out the position.
  Sky online almanacs are a good place to start as
  they consider different pointers including
  constellations, azimuth, and the planet altitude
  at any particular time.

• Now comes the time to find the location of the
  planet you want in the skies above. Many of these
  are visible planets such as Mercury, Saturn,
  Jupiter, Mars, and Venus. All you require are
  your eyes and the star chart to find them out
  with your telescope. Ideally, you should look for
  bright stars that do not twinkle in tandem with
  the surrounding ones with your Celestron
  telescopes.
• Once you spot such a star, it is time to find it
  out on your star chart. If you do not find it
  there, it is nothing but a planet.
• After you find such a non-star heavenly body, it
  is time to focus your telescope towards it. For
  this, you will require to use the Finder of your
  equipment. The Finder remains present on the
  outer side of telescope tube and it is in the
  form of a small telescope. With the help of the
  Finder, you'll be able to first aim and adjust
  using your main scope.

So, what you do with the magnification of your
telescope when finding the planet? Ideally, you
should start with lower magnifications for planet
spotting and then gradually go on to higher ones
for detailing the same.

• Next part is the focusing of your Meade
  telescopes by using planetary disk edge. Correct
  focusing of telescope signifies that circular
  edge remains clear and sharp throughout.

• You need to adjust the telescope for
  compensating the apparent motion of the sky. As
  everybody knows, Earth rotates continuously so
  the position of the sky also appears as if
  shifting over time. When you use the telescope,
  this motion is going to shift the planet away
  from your view rather quickly. So, move the
  telescope with your hand or use drive motors
  attached to it for shifting position in tandem.
