But its missing its handbox. These new scopes are weird and digital. I cant get it to focus. All I see is a big blur when I look at the moon. Im using a 10mm lens I havent tried the 20mm yet. Mabye thats why its blurry. But anyway, can you operate a digital scope manually? And if not where do I find a handbox? And is the blur normal using 10mm? Thanks!
give me some time and i'll help you. right now all i can say is use lower power (higher mm) it give widest field of view and sharper images. dont jump into high power right away, you will only be turned off the hobby.

do you know what model handbox you need? I may have one i can give you.
Thanks for this!
