Who makes twinstar telescopes and how do i find

Hi Cheryl:
Funny you mention that.
It's been that way with astronomical telescopes since I was a kid, and that was a long time ago. I think the thinking was that adding another lens to reverse the image would not increase the magnification, and since you're looking at stars, it really doesn't matter if they are upside down.

Take the lens cap off-- put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one. Take it out during the daytime and practice focusing on a distant object. The moon should be your first target at night.

Clear skies

I could not find the exact manual, but this site may be helpful if you are looking for directions to set up the telescope:

This is a reflector style telescope. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. Take it outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object.

If it is on an EQ mount read my EQ mount tip on my profile page. The scope will need to be polar aligned in order to use it properly if the mount is an equatorial.

The eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it is your lowest magnification.

Put the eyepiece into the focuser and practice focusing on a distant object during the day time. The image will be upside down. NOTHING is wrong. All astronomical telescopes show upside down images.

You will also need to learn how to polar align the EQ mount. Read my tips on my profile page.

This is a small refractor style telescope. You will not find a manual for that telescope. However MEADE telescopes maintains a web site for their REFRACTOR telescopes. They all assemble and are used the same way.

Look under the REFRACTOR heading on this web site for a manual similar to your telescope:

Also read my TIPS on my Profile Page. This link will also help you.

DO NOT USE the 2x barlow if you have one. Put only the 25mm eyepiece in the telescope. Now practice focusing on the moon again.

You can also practice during the day time on a distant object. The object will be upside down by the way.

This is a refractor telescope. Download a manual from Meade. They all work about the same way.

yes it is a bushnell join us at www.cloudynights.com and, we can help you get the specs.

I really don't understand the actual problem? You have the manual-- have you assembled the scope according to the manual?

If you have --- put the eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it into the telescope-- this is your LOWEST magnification. (Never use the 2x or 3x barlow that comes with these small telescopes -- it is useless-- just too much magnification. )

Now go outside during the daytime and point the telescope at a distant land object and practice focusing-- the moon should be your first target at night. Spend a little time during the day and line up the small finder scope which is usually mounted on top of the tube --- with the main telescope. Once they are lined up you can use the finder like a gun sight to point the telescope.
