how to fix it ? view from finder scope different from eyepiece

Hi All,

I am a newbie and just borrowed a telescope from a friend last nite...and took me a while to get a clear view of the moon. And there seems to be a problem with the telescope.

When I centered the moon in the finder scope, what I saw in the telescope was the clouds around the moon. I adjusted the telescope with those knobs (sorry don't know the name) and all of a sudden the moon showed in the eyepiece taking up the whole screen. It was wonderful to figure out by myself.

I don't think the telescope is working properly...If there is anyone can tell me how to fix the problem that would be great.
