towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

I have just purchased my first telescope, a Bushnell 675x4.5" reflector. It
came with 2 eyepieces 20mm & 4mm plus a x3 Barlow lens. The image is good
using just the 20mm lens but with the Barlow it doesn't focus sharply, The
4mm doesn't give pin sharp images either (am I expecting to much). the build
quality of the actual telescope seems fine but the finderscope and eyepieces
seem very low quality. If I replace the Barlow and Buy a new eyepiece of
reputable quality will it improve the quality of the image? If yes can
anyone recommend a quality brand that I can purchase? Does anyone know much
of the Bushnell telescopes? Have I bought a lemon.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give some advise to an over enthusiastic
new comer.
