Our first telescope is a Celestron AstroMaster 130 we bought on a whim from an Australian Geo shop. Have never got the best use out of it: the spotter scope is a red dot in a tube and it just doesn't work for me- can't focus on the dot and a star at the same time, so it's hit and miss for finding anything smaller that the moon! Got a Barlow for it but cannot focus the camera with or without. I guess it's a pretty ordinary scope but we should be able to have more fun than we are having. By the time I've found Saturn everyone has gone to bed! I need guidance! Any advice or help would be appreciated.
