I take it that you have a Newtonian; a reflector; mirrors?

Tell us the brand, and the diameter of the primary mirror/lens.

It's a Bushnell (this is where I insert justification. It was a gift. It is
better than nothing)
675x4.5" Reflector
Focal length (mm)

It most assuredly is, jojo. My first scope, a Nashica M100 50mm
refractor, ranks near the bottom of the heap of dept. store junk,
yet it still comes out to play from time to time. No need to
apologize about your scope. The best scope is the one you own and
use.

Far better than the first scope I ever owned..
