However i believe i have set it up correctly (By the manual) but using anything but the included 20mm Eyepiece, everything seems to be blurry.
Even looking at the moon through the 10mm or SR4mm there doesn't seem to be any real clarity to what i'm looking at (kind of a big blurry blob) . however with the 20mm its quite sharp.
I maybe new but i do know of the focus  and this doesn't help.
Any help would be appreciated. |
My first real telescope many years ago was a Tasco 114mm reflector advertised at 375 x magnification. Forget the 375x they are good for a maximum of about 100x using a top quality 9 mm eye piece but of the supplied eyepieces only the 20mm is actually usable. In fact It was recomended that I buy a 40mm eyepiece. This gave a magnification around 25x with marvelously clear views even though they were small.
