Thank you for all the answers.

Bought said telescope, tried it out tonight. Problems:
1) Can't find a single star. I have found the moon once, it just plain brightness, cannot see any details on it from the brightness. (no lunar filter). Other than that: blackness everywhere.
2) Is this setup good -eyepiece holder-eyepiece adaptor-eyepiece (picture)
3) I have found a metal tool which is not mentioned in the manual (picture)

Additional info:
1) Finderscope works 100% (moons and stars)
2) The secondary mirror sends the picture to me since I have removed the eyepiece holder/adaptor/eyepiece setup and looked directly into the telescope - saw the moon and the stars reflected from the secondary mirror. But when I put the pictured things on the telescope I cannot see anything.
3) Assembled according to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcz0oLjiyHI (no info on optical setup). Read the manual.
4) No collimation after unboxing. The salesperson told me that this telescope won't need collimating for while.

Clouds came after 30 mins of observing... Hope for clear skies for my next attempt
