which is f5 and which has a 2" focuser to take big eyepieces (you remove the smaller 1.25" adapter from the 2" tube).
And you have a correct image finderscope which excellent for use with maps when you know your position. But it is darn hard to aim it and find your position.
What you now need to make it a cinch to use is a little 1X Red Dot finder. You attach it to the telescope next to the finder using the double sided wall hanging strips that are sold everywhere. Then after aligning everything, you just aim the red dot at something in the sky (a star or group of stars) then look into your finderscope and go hopping to whatever target you are after near to where you aimed.
