Cd disks? no not at all....
When I used the 25mm and 9mm it was all a big blurry haze.... turning the focuser had no effect.
When I used the 40 mm it just looked normal like looking at the stars my eyes. ( a little worst infact), it did not enlarge the star shapes or anything. |
no not a joke, the 26mm 2" eyepiece will give you wide views. I have a 2" 30mm ultrawide from andrews and it is my favourite eyepiece.
the 25mm normal eyepiece will probably give you more magnification, so don't feel ripped off.
is the focusser actually moving in and out? there are two screws under the focusser that control the in and out movement. if the screws are undone, then turning the knobs will have no effect. try doing up the screws one at a time and see if that makes the focusser go in and out.
i would definately try the moon to start with, as it is really easy to focus on and then you can move to other stars and objects. the moon will drown out a lot of stars at the moment. the moon is great to look at. your 9mm will blow you away at how close you seem when you look.
