When shopping for a Monocular Telescope don't get to caught up in its magnification. While magnification is important it is not THE most important thing to consider. A telescope does its job by gathering light and the amount of light it collects is in direct relation to the size of its lens or mirror. To determine a telescopes magnification capacity you can do the following. Multiply the size of the lens, lets say it's 4 inches, by 60 this gives you 240. This number will roughly represent the telescopes upper magnification limit.

Pay Attention To Details. Always make sure the flash is turned off and that you use an ISO setting of at least 400. Use longer exposures for objects that are faint and shorter exposures for ones that are bright.Beware Of The Sun! Unless you are a trained professional photographer who has the proper equipment to photograph our nearest star than I would STRONGLY recommend that you not attempt it.. Even though the sun is roughly 150 million miles from earth and its light takes over 8 minutes to reach us don't let these numbers fool you! The sun is a nuclear furnace that is constantly emitting Ultraviolet rays as well as X-Rays and extremely dangerous Gamma rays. The intensity of these different rays vary according to their wavelength but they are all present. NEVER EVER use a telescope, binoculars or any other piece of magnification equipment to view the sun, using your naked eye is not a good idea either. The sun can very quickly and permanently damage your eyes(especially the retina) so PLEASE leave it to the pros.

Join An Astronomy Club. Star gazing can be much more fun if you enjoy it with others who share the same interest. They are also great places to have discussions and to learn from one another.Get To Know The Sky. The internet provides a wealth of information on our solar system and the universe as does your local library. Finding out where to point your telescope to locate your favorite celestial objects will make photographing them much easier. The links listed at the end of this article will assist you in navigating your way around the night sky.
