it also came wit 1x. 1.5x erecting eyepice

for bird watching and other terestrail viewing
this will increase your magnification 3 fold or there abouts. you probably wont use it much as you will get too much magnification from it for your scopes practical power limit.
[quoteand 1x. sr 4mm eyepice
1x. f 12.5 mm eyepice
1x. h 20mm eyepice [/quote]the 4mm gives you the most magnification and the 20mm the least. i am thinking the 4mm will be very hard to use properly.

and 1x green thing that says moon on it
|
this cuts down on teh glare produced by the moon. it screws into the bottom of the eyepiece

i guess my question is that if i want to look at the moon what do i use ?
any advice would be a big help

the moon isnt out at night at the moment but wait a few days and it will be out in the early evening. right now (at night not litteraly now) if you lokk pretty much straight up the brightest star is jupiter. I have one of those scopes (like yours) at the moment i am trying to sell for a friend and with it i can make out the banding on jupiter and see the 4 main moons.... give it a try. you will mainly use the 12.5 and 20mm eyepiece, infact start with the 20mm
now if your scope is anything like the one i have then when you look at a bright star it may not focus into a roundish dot. the main mirror was pinched in this one and i had to pull it apart and losen off the mirror clamp.
feel free to ask more questions
