What extender are you talking about? Do you mean an extension tube,
or a barlow lens? If it is a barlow such as a 2x, why would you need it?
the scope already has plenty of focal length.
If it turns out that you are not on target, use the Go To with your
lowest power eyepiece. It is always harder to locate an object with a
long focal length scope.
Are the bright stars that you can see close to being pinpoints, or are
they small discs? Maybe the "extender" you refer to won't let you reach focus.

Ramyo its called a Tele Extender made by Celestron. The Extender tube is really only for Planet and moon stuff so that's fine. My mistake should have read the manual properly. Of course now I now the Extender don't let me meet focus and have to buy another attachment to put my "T"ring onto and directly off the back of the scope. Do you have any idea how I can upload images onto the message?
