First post on this forum. Infact first post in any astronomy forum! So be nice.
On my just purchased Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ there're 3 pairs of screws on the back plate. All look the same and one of each pair is screwed right down to the back plate. In fact looking inside the telescope, these screws appear to secure the back plate to the tube. Wish Celestron would use a different set of screw, eg fingers useable, instead of the same philips head screws. Couldn't have cost much more, and more helpful to a novice like me! Or place arrow stickers next to the ones I can mess with. And is it me or does the manual appear a bit vague to other owners? Is it me or the telescope when the terrestial images double focus and then out of focus again, say an image less than 500m away? Any advice will really help. Thanks.
