Welcome to IIS what do you have on your scope some kind of finder scope I imagine if you have you need to align this finder with the scope. Align the scope on a distant object in the day like a power pole or light pole then adjust the finder until you have the pole in the center of the finder. I recomend getting a TALRAD for ease of lining up on visable objects you align it the same way as for a finder scope. This probably doesn't need to be said but when using the scope in the day be careful that you are aware where the sun is because you will damage your eye's and your scope's eyepieces
