Got the same telescope, quick question ; do you remove the entire front cap (dust cap) from the front of the scope or leave it on and remove only the little circular one but leave the dust cap on? Kind regards

Take it all off to let more light in, you could leave it on and remove the small cap to view the moon as it is so bright.

Taking off the little cap will turn the dust cap into a sunshield meaning it is better for daytime observing but it still isn't safe to look at the sun. It can also be used for better images of the full moon.

why does mine never line up with the red dot? like I have to mark how low it needs to be for me to see the moon or a star

You need to adjust the red dot finder, during daylight point the telescope at an object in the distance (something stationary, not moving) then adjust the red dot finder to point at the same object, start with a low magnification eyepiece at first, adjust the red dot finder, then change the eyepiece for one with more magnification then again adjust the red dot finder so that they are both pointing at the same object.

Hi mate, I can't get my new skywatcher 200p telescope into focus at a distance of anything over 100 meters, it's always blurry whatever strength of eyepiece I use. Any ideas what going wrong? Thanks.

Ok, make sure the eyepieces are clean no fingerprints, if you're looking through a window make sure that is clean also, dont bother with the barlow for now, during the day start with the smallest magnification ep and find a target to look at far away, lamp post/tree tops/rooftops etc and use the focuser until it comes clear, if the object is too far away it may not look clear just find a closer target, then change eyepieces see what you get, it took me a little while to get used to getting focus.

@@astroamateuruk Thanks for getting back to me mate. Can get stuff in focus at 50 meters but anything over that like say fields in the distance, its always blurry? If it won't focus on that how will it be when I do eventually point it into the night sky? I'm using a 25 mm eyepiece as it's the shortest focal length I've got. I'm pulling what's left of my hair out! 😩

Have you tried looking at the moon yet, give that a go when you can if it still doesn't look right maybe it needs collimating

Hi, can you tell me what I am doing wrong if I can’t see my red dot at all? It’s switched on and I can see it is on but not in the scope?
@astroamateuruk

You wont see the dot in the scope. What you do is point the scope at a target off in the distance during the day is best, using a low magnification eyepiece such as a 25mm, (something solid that wont move, a singpost/chimney stack/tv aerial etc) then adjust the red dot up/down left/right so that the dot is on the same target as the scope. Then repeat with a say a 10mm eyepiece, checking that the scope and red dot are pointing at the same target, if they are then well done you have aligned tje red dot to your scope if not then keep making adjustments to the red dot until the dot and scope are pointing at the exact same spot. Hope this helps.

If it is a manual telescope then you would use the slow motion controls and adjust with them

How to align a red dot finer: 1) Remove battery. 2) Line up red dot finder with circular target. 3) Drop red dot finder into circular target. 4) Take out red dot finder with the rest of the trash on Wednesday. 5) Buy a real finder scope.
