I don't suppose it's possible that there's some sort of protective film that's supposed to be removed before use?
Thanks. I couldn't see any film on it when I examined it closely with a torch. But my friend lives over an hour's drive away, so I can't double check.

Both the reflector and refractor Astromaster have this weird finder on it. Curiously, reviews are positive for these scopes, which has me wondering if there is something else that should be happening with the finder, but that this one is defective.
