i just bought a bushnell deep space series telescope for my kids and can’t figure out how to use it .help?
its a 420/60 refractor telescope model # 78-9512 please help me figure it out thanks
we are trying to focus it in but it seems to stay blurry
The scope you have purchased will probably discourage you and your kids away from astronomy due to the low quality. BUT there are some things you can do.
1) until you follow the other suggestions below – try viewing the moon (during any phase), it’s so bright any scope will give a decent view and the kids will love it
2) get a better eye piece – and stick to lower magnifications
(I took the eyepiece out of an old broken pair of binoculars and replaced the eyepiece that came with a similar scope as yours and went from viewing the moon to viewing the rings of Saturn!)
3) the legs or tripod your scope is mounted on are probably not good enough to hold the scope steady, a scope has got to be rock steady if you are going to view anything other than the moon – find a way to keep it stable, (I ended up replacing my legs with an old tripod from a construction level)
4) (maybe should be #1) if it’s not too late – return the scope and go buy a 6″ dobsonian (orion or celestron) they only run about $275 and are an excellent starter scope.
have fun!
