The scope came with one of those utterly useless deep space "maps" that you see with cheap scopes on ebay. It didn't come with a manual though. I downloaded Orion's manual but it says nothing about fitting the dew shield. It's on tight I tried to slide or twist it gently, but it doesn't budge. I'm scared of being too forceful with it. Is it meant to screw on or slide on?
