Hi, All.
I'm still having problems aligning this.
I can find the paper in the telescope, but no matter how far I adjust the finderscope, I can't get it to line up.
Maybe I need to describe the finderscope on the Celestron so I know we're on the same wavelength. The finderscope is a moulded plastic thing, permanently attached to the open end of the telescope. It's about 4 or 5 cm long. There is a perspex disc at the front and another at the rear. Each has a circle approx 15mm in diameter and a "dot" in the middle. When I switch the scope on, an LED makes the dots appear red.
My understanding is that I need to be able to line up the object I want to see with the LED and its reflection. There are two adjusting screws which are approx 120 degrees apart and move the rear disc. The closest I can get is just inside the border of the circle.
Does that make any sense to anyone?
