Celestron NexStar 114GT (269 x 114mm) Telescope Questions & Answers
Focus knob on Celestron NexStar 5 does not appear
Does the focuser move in and out when you turn the knob? If it does then go outside during the day timne and practice focusing on a distant object. Use the eyepiece with the biggest number written on it.
This will give you the lowest magnification-- which is easier to focus.

Can you see something in the distance during the daytime?
Did you do the training, set the TIME
Did you do a two star alignment?

Hi Dan, before you ship it off somewhere, you may want to try and change out the hand controller with another one that someone has and see if the problem moves.
