Help required! Newbie! Can't get focus on Celestron 5SE
Hi everyone!
I have recently bought my first telescope however struck a hitch already. I'm learning to use a Celestron Nexstar 5SE and Bought a Star Diagonal for it- GSO to fit visual back; 1 1/4 inch. Hoping I'm providing right info here. I have a 25mm eyepiece in and found an obstruction to focus. I tried Barlow and 6mm too, found similar problem. I just tried all I had. Couldn't focus on moon. Lots of tries- a haze or fuzz seemed to be in the way, even though I had her lined up sweet. Haven't tried since. I'm sure I'm just new at it and it's something simple I'm missing!
Took out diagonal, just used eyepiece during day and managed to focus on a tree some distance away. Haven't tried this at night yet without star diagonal in place.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Astrochick!
