Eyepieces ALWAYS go into the focuser. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. Take it outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object.

The moon should be your first target at night. Read my TIPS on my profile page.

The manual will have assembly instructions. IT WILL NOT help you learn how to use the telescope to find objects in the night sky!

The manual will just have assembly instructions, it will NOT help you find objects in the sky. Locate a local Astronomy club and the members will help you.

You posted this question (?) in the Telescope Topic.

If you have a telescope with a MIRROR then the end with the focuser is pointed UP.

If you have a telescope with a lens in the front and and the focuser on the end, then the end with the lens is pointed up.

Read this and look at the pictures that show which end is UP:

You will not find a manual for that telescope. Look on the Bushnell manual web site and locate one similar to your telescope. They all assemble in a similar fashion.

First use the eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it. This is your lowest magnification.

Then center the object in the telescope eyepiece, and without moving the telescope CENTER the crosshairs or the red finder dot on the target.

Since you can focus on trees during the daytime nothing is wrong with the telescope-- most objects in the sky are very tiny-- you must be pointed directly at them to see them. During the day line up the small finder telescope on top with the main telescope-- then use the small finder to point the larger "tube" directly at the object in the sky.

I am assuming that you mean that the image at your eyepiece is inverted (upside down). All telescopes show an inverted image. You can add an erecting prism before the eyepiece if you wish to use the scope terrestrially (for looking at things on earth).
