I concur with this review -- excellent main objective, poor accessory optics and so-so mounting. However, I accidentally discovered that the finder DOES focus ok. It appears to be fixed-focus, but with a lot of messing around I finally noticed that the eye end of the finder screws out and comes to focus.

>HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE TELESCOPE AT ALL. >INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY VAGUE ON SET UP AND >USAGE. NEED MORE HELP I have not been able to get my 78-4501 to work at all. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but cannot see a thing through the eyepiece at all. Just black. I've taken it apart and examined everything - and all seems ok - but cannot view anything. Can someone either tell me which way the lens is actually supposed to be set up ? Have tried many combos to no avail. The instructions are very vague and don't inform completely. This is my first telescope and I'm at a complete loss. Thanks for any help.
