Can't see out of eye piece

Align the finder to the main scope during the day before using it at night. Use the lowest power (biggest number) eyepiece first.

During the day:
1. Point to a far (1000 meters or more) object
2. Insert the lowest power (highest number) eyepiece e.g. 25mm
3. focus on the object.
4. Align finder to match what you see in the scope.
At night.
1. Put scope out and let it reach the temperature of the outside.
2. Point finder to the moon (1st object you should always use to check scope and finder alignment)
3. Use the same low power eyepiece.
4. If everything seems fine, switch to a higher power eyepiece and enjoy the view. You may have to slightly adjust the finder to align with the main scope.
If the views are blurry, the telescope may be out of collimation. Look on the internet for generic collimation instructions.
If this still did not help. Throw the scope out! Its probably a piece of junk and will only discourage you.

All astronomy telescopes show the image upside down. Using a erect prism eyepiece fixes this but is not for astronomy, only terrestrial views because of light loss

BUY another finder scope-- something like this:

All astronomical telescopes show the image upside down. It's tradition and there is a good technical reason for this, but you can get an "erecting prism" to make the image upright. This does not have to come from Edu-Science if your eyepieces are the standard size (1.25 inch outside diameter). If you search Amazon or eBay for "erecting prism" you will find a few available. You probably won't want to pay the prices though.

Meade may have the part, but I doubt it. You can call them here:

It might be easier just to replace the finder scope with one of these:

Eyepieces can be purchased at many on-line retailers. Here are two:

there is one more piece that gos to the end you put your eye on it .if you take it of you will see it is just a mirror not the lens that you need.

The eyepiece end is the end pointed UP.

Remove the lens cap on the top.
Like this picture:

The eyepiece is on the FRONT end of the telescope which is pointed UP.

The mirror is in the bottom.

Remove the lens cap and put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. Go outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object. The image will be upside down but this is not a problem. NO up or down in outer space!

I'm surprised it did not come with the 20mm eyepiece. That is a good all-around eyepiece that works well for viewing across the bay or looking at the Moon. You may also want to get a barlow to "right" the Earth based images.

I recommend purchasing a 20mm eyepiece for your viewing pleasure. I hope this FixesYa!
