Hi mike,

thanks for your reply. yeah the object was very clear and I think I was more than 3-9mm away from the EP. I started off by locating the target and the focusser completely extended out. Then I started to move it towards the secondary mirror and stopped when it was crystal clear.

Next time I'll try to be within 3-9mm and see how it goes. I think I had a misconception of telescopes in regards to looking through the EPs, because I have used microscopes and binoculars and in those you really have to stick your eye really close to the EP to see the object.

thanks

----I also noticed something right now that my eyepiece always shows the image of the cross-hair and the secondary mirror, so on the EP it looks like the crosshair with the centre portion being black. Is this correct or something wrong here ? I wish the dob came with a good manual.
