Looking through the EPs
Hi all,I just have a question which may sound really silly but I really would like to get it cleared. With my GS 8" dob i received 9mm and 25mm 1.25" plossl EPs. Now, yesterday in daytime (no i did not point towards the sun and blind myself...ha ha)I pointed my scope to a far away electric pole to align the scope and the finderscope. I was able to do that successfully but my question is, when I went really close to the EP, i lost the focus of the object and I couldn't see anything. Is this correct ?Since this was in daytime it was easy for me to navigate the scope EP to the target which I wanted to view by looking in the EP from far but in the night time, would I have to always use the finderscope to locate the object first and then see it from the scope EPs; even for moon ??? thanksvivek
