20 Most Recent Bushnell Tasco Telescope Galaxsee 525x60mm Refractor Telescope 46-060525 Questions & Answers

Often, you can find product manuals at the bottom of product pages on Fixya. (You can get to a product page by searching or clicking the product picture).See the assembly instructions here: http://www.fixya.com/support/p407591-bushnell_tasco_telescope_galaxsee/usermanual-6B20BB2-pdfI wasn't able to locate the manual online, but Tasco has an online pdf for similar models which can be found here: http://www.tasco.com/products/manuals/46060675_TML-722.pdf

Focal length not physical length would better answer your question. Shorter focal length scopes have a lower power but wider view per size of eyepiece. BUT!Tasco telescopes are basically junk telescopes. Any telescope from Celestron, Meade, Orion, Explore Scientific or Televue (to name the more popular) will give you a superior view compared to the Tasco. A 60mm scope has the maximum magnification of 225x (under perfect sky conditions. I suggest a small, short tube reflector in the 4 inch range. They are lightweight, have much more light gathering power (more important than magnification) and easy to set up.

All astronomical telescopes show upside down images. It's normal. If you want to use it for terrestrial viewing you can purchase an "erecting diagonal" like this:

You can't. This is a toy, not a real scope. The largest FOV is with your lowest power (biggest number) eyepiece.
If interested in wide field views, buy a GOOD telescope with a low focal ratio (below f/8)

hssross if your still out there I have the telescope you have I bought it new a long time ago. I have used it with my grandkids now I have all the parts so I can answer your questions to the best of my knoladge. [email protected]

Practice focusing the scope during the day time on a distant object. Also line up a distant object with the small finder scope so that the main tube and the finder are both pointed at the same spot.

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope and practice focusing. The moon should be your first target at night.

Read my TIPS on my profile page. Objects in the sky are smaller than the tip of your finger held at arms length. The scope must be pointed directly at them or you will NOT see anything.

Did you try focusing during the day time on a distant object?

Objects in the sky are very tiny, smaller than the tip of your finger held at arm's length. The scope must be pointed directly at them to see anything----- and your scope also has a VERY small field of view. That's why we recommend binoculars to a beginner. The wider field of view makes it easier to find objects in the sky at night.

This is a simple small refractor telescope. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. DO NOT USE the 2 x barlow if you have one.

Practice focusing on a distant object during the daytime- you are not focusing the scope properly.

You have moisture inside the barrel. Remove the eyepiece and objective to air out and the-assemble after a few days. Be sure to mark which end is which!

hi there

you have to clikc the latch in order to see through the telescope. just look for a latch there.

What eyepieces sizes have you used?
Try using the largest eyepieces you have (20mm, 25mm or higher) for a wide field of view. If your eyepiece is to small (maybe 15mm or below) you will have too much magnification and the moon will be a blur.

Try the largest eyepiece you have (20mm, 25mm) for a wide field of view. Of you try to view the moon with too much power (smaller mm eyepieces) it will always come out blurry - too close for such magnification.
