How do I set up a Tasco telescope?
How do I set up a Tasco telescope?
Select a target (begin with the moon) and gently move the telescope tube to align it with the target by sighting down the length of the telescope. When you get the telescope roughly aligned, use the small finder scope on the side of the telescope to make any fine adjustments to the alignment.
How do you focus a Tasco telescope?
To focus on an object that is nearer than your current target, turn the focusing knob toward the eyepiece (i.e., so that the focus tube moves away from the front of the telescope). For more distant objects, turn the focus knob in the opposite direction.
Is Tasco telescope a good brand?
The main reason Tasco telescopes perform poorly is that they often come with poor quality eyepieces and an equally poor quality star diagonal. Fortunately, the Tasco objectives (or primary mirror for reflecting telescopes) still seem to be of decent quality.

Why can’t I see anything in my telescope?
If you are unable to find objects while using your telescope, you will need to make sure the finderscope is aligned with the telescope. The finderscope is the small scope attached near the rear of the telescope just above the eyepiece holder. This is best done when the scope is first set up.
What does a star diagonal do?
A star diagonal, erecting lens or diagonal mirror is an angled mirror or prism used in telescopes that allows viewing from a direction that is perpendicular to the usual eyepiece axis. It allows more convenient and comfortable viewing when the telescope is pointed at, or near the zenith (i.e. directly overhead).
Why can’t I see the moon with my telescope?
Why can’t I see through my telescope at night?
If you can’t see anything clearly through your telescope at night, try using the scope in daylight first. In a reflector, it is the small tube sticking out of the side nearly at the front end of the telescope. Insert your eyepiece in the tube and then tighten the setscrew(s) to hold it securely.
Can you use telescope without diagonal?
There are now so-called dielectric mirrors that reflect up to 99% of the incident light. Compared to ‘normal’ mirrors, these provide a brighter and higher contrast image. The only telescope that does not need a star diagonal is the Newtonian reflector.
