Have I bought a lemon
Telescope Buyers FAQ
http://home.inreach.com/starlord Please read this. -- "In this universe the night was falling,the shadows were lengthening 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." Arthur C. Clarke, The City & The Stars SIAR www.starlords.org Bishop's Car Fund http://www.bishopcarfund.Netfirms.com/ Freelance Writers Shop http://www.freelancewrittersshop.netfirms.com Telescope Buyers FAQ http://home.inreach.com/starlord "Robert Summerfield" wrote in message .. . 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. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
