A suggestion - try using it in daylight - just make absolutely certain it is NEVER EVER pointed near the sun.

Aim at a distant tree, put an eyepiece in (the one with the biggest number on it) and adjust the focus the from one end to the other.

When you can see something other than sky, then look through the finder scope (the little one on top). That should give you an idea of how closely aligned the two scopes are. Knowing that will make finder things in the night sky easier. With a bit of fiddling, you can then align the two so that they look at the same thing.
