Hi Chino,
Cant give to much advice but have you tried to set it up during the day. This will make it easier to get the finder scope and telescope aligned, pointing to the same object.
First thing I must ask is have you removed the cap on the end of the scope, I know its a stupid question, but, its these studip things that get us each time.
Eg. set up during the day, avoiding pointing the scope at the sun, very bad idea. You should see white when you look thru the eyepiece end. While looking thru it move your had over the end of the scope, you should see the view go dark/light/dark as you move your hand in front of the scope.
If you can then its probably just not in focus.
Point the scope at a distant object such as a light pole, tree or something. Rack the focuser all the way in then move the focus all the way out and hopefully you will be able to see what your aiming at. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas and someone with some knoweldge about your scope will be able to give some better advice.
If you can get the image in focus during the day leave the scope pointed at the object now align the finder scope to the same object using the 3 little screws holding the finder in the finder mount.
Hope this helps
Cheers
