Hello everyone,
Firstly I hope you'll all bear with me as I'm an absolute newbie and may ask some extremely silly questions..
I received my very first scope today, it's a Guan Sheng 10" dobsonian. The only thing I managed to do with it was assemble it and bring it outside - after which, I don't know what to do! The moon isn't out tonight, so I positioned the finderscope at the brightest star in the sky but couldn't see anything in the eyepiece (I tried the 6mm, 9mm and 25mm Plossl eyepieces that came with the dob, stood outside for a couple of hours, trying to adjust the focus). It must be because I hadn't aligned or collimated, but I don't know where to start.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you!
