First time telescope user,Help? X P?
Ok i got a Bushnell Telescope today as a gift,No manual.I also don’t know the number thing for it (I know doesn’t help much,Sorry) But anyways when i look through the biggest lens thing i only see the reflection of my eye,the other lens…well i can kinda see stuff but its blurry,like looking through water an the other one,is just all black,i can’t see anything
Can anyone tell me what to do? I really don’t want to have to throw it away it seems really neat if i could only get it to work!
It seems to be in fine condition,Nothing scratched or broke an no missing parts.
You haven’t really given us enough information to figure out what’s wrong.
1. Is it a reflector or a refractor? A refractor has a large lens at one end (the objective) and a small eyepiece made of several small lenses at the other (eye) end. A reflector has an open tube with a concave mirror at the bottom of the tube and a small flat mirror at a 45° angle near the open top end, with the eyepiece on the side of the tube.
2. When you say you see a reflection of your eye, is it really your eye, or is it a large white circle with a small black circle in the middle, with three or four thin spokes joining the small black circle to the edge of the white circle? This is what you see in a reflector when it is way out of focus. Turn the focusing knob to make the big circle get smaller.
3. This is why I always recommend buying a telescope from a store that specializes in telescopes: they will help you get started. Failing that, try to find your local astronomy club and see if they can help you.
