Troubleshooting
Image is blurry
Ensure the lens is clean and free from smudges. Gently adjust the focus by turning the eyepiece (if applicable) or moving the telescope closer or further from the object. Ensure the object is within the effective range of the telescope.
Cannot see anything through the telescope
Check that the lens caps (if any) are removed. Point the telescope towards a well-lit object or area. Ensure the correct end of the telescope is being used for viewing.
Wrist strap is difficult to attach
Thread the loop of the wrist strap through the attachment point on the telescope and then through itself to secure it. If it feels tight, ensure it is correctly aligned.
