Default Newbie help with Celestron 114GT

Ken,

I'd say for some reason it isn't coming into focus.

I know this is probably blantantly obvious, but your post leaves a bit of
ambiguity to it---you do have an eyepiece in it, right?

Once you adjust the focuser, the image should come into focus quite easily.

Have you tried focusing on something during the day?

Is the image actually in focus but you still see the shadow of the secondary
mirror?

Or does the image not come to focus at all?
