hi
i'm only an absolute beginner with stronomy and my parents bought me a telescope for xmas. i've seen the moon prefectly and when i was alligning the spotting scope i could see everything clearly, but when i try to look at a star all i can see is a ring of light with nothing in the middle - its like a hole. it looks like the first thing you see if you were to look into the barrel.
i'm dying to get out and have a good look but its pointless as that all i get. any help would be fantastic!
thanx, alecia
