that picture shows a spider (the cross bits) with the secondary mirror holder. Are you looking thru the eyepiece holder without an eyepiece in place / or are you looking thru the front of the scope which is supposed to point to the sky?
Loo at the pic - do you have an eyepiece in place at the back of the scope? this scope has a diagonal which means you look down at the back to see objects with the scope
the scope pictured also has a flip mirror system - whereby you can look straight thru(from bottom right) or from the top down using a diagonal (top right)
Is it your scope?
if you have an eye p/c in and you see what you have drawn someone has covered or removed the secondary mirror
Can you take a pic of the scope? It may help us
Yes it is my scope. I just bought it on this forum actually. I've taken the diagonal out and my viewing is a lot better. I just saw Jupiter. I already knew that the diagonal was not in good condition (it was thrown in with the purchase) so maybe that's the problem. What do you think, am I on the right track?
You should be able to bring the image into focus with the diagonal.
I have a VC200L and it has a 60mm diam extension tube that attaches to the back. This needs to be removed to use a diagonal.
