Can not see anything through my celestron 70az telescope

Download the manual in the link below. It is for the Orbitor 6000 which is a 6" Netownian Reflector telescope on an equatorial mount. Your telescope may have a Alta-Zimuth (AZ) mount instead, then click on the second link for the Celestron 114AZ. Although the telescopes are different from yours, the basic parts are very much similar and these manuals could be of help to you.

That still isn\'t helping. I tried all of that, I can\'t find out what mound I have, and if I look directly at the star, asteroid, comet or whatever, all I see is a blur of the color object I\'m looking at.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

This is a small reflector style telescope on an equatorial mount. The mount and tripod must be polar aligned in order to be used. Read this:

Simply pt the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope, take the scope outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object like a building.

Do you have a fresh set of batteries in the scope? Better to use an outside 12 volt power pack with the Celestron 12 volt "cigarette" lighter cable.

This can be three things:

Low power

Bad cable from hand controller to scope.

Or a broken hand controller

Try fresh batteries first.

Contact either a Celestron Dealer (customer service) or Celestron customer service.

You need a DIAGONAL see this picture, it's basically an "l" shaped accessory that fits into the end of the telescope so you look DOWN into the eyepiece.

look for the instructions and see if there's some sort of lock that you have to undo to make the lens clear
