Realignment directions for 10'' deep space hunter telescope

This is a reflector style scope with a large mirror in the bottom, and a small secondary mirror underneath the focuser. The focuser is on the UP end of the tube as the picture shows in your question.

Simply insert the eye[pieces into the hole on the focuser and turn the knob left or right until the image comes to focus. Practice during the day time on a distant object starting with the eyepiece with the largest number written on it.

Read this--
http://texasastro.org/telescope.php about the types of telescopes.

Objects in the night sky are tiny and many of them are very dim-- the scope must be pointed directly at them or you will not see anything.

Find a local Astronomy club and the members will help you. All of Bushnell's manuals are located on this web site:

Hardin Optical is out of business-- however a well stocked hardware store should carry some springs that will work just fine.

You can contact Bushnell directly here:- and they have a parts list on this page:

You can buy a new finder scope. There are many retailers on-line--

Here is one:

The mirror must be recoated -- the pitting is in the coating NOT in the glass--Google mirror recoating.

I have never seen one of these--

can you NOT tighten up the Altitude knob tension by adding some teflon washers or felt washers?

I would just replace the entire finder scope with a better quality-- here is one retailer that sells replacement finder scopes:

Why would you need a manual for a simple Dobsonian reflector telescope.

The Company does not exist-- anymore.

A manual only showed how to assemble the telescope, it DOES NOT tell you how to USE the telescope to find objects in the sky.

This is a good beginner telescope by the way. Here is how to get started using it:

1. During the day time align the small finder scope and the big scope on the same distant target. Then you can use the finder scope to locate and POINT the main tube to objects in the night sky.

Also during the day put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. This is your LOWEST magnification. Practice focusing on a distant object. The image will be upside down--- this is perfectly normal. Nothing is wrong with the scope.

The moon should be the first target at night.

If this is a reflector telescope, did the small secondary mirror located beneath the focuser hole fall out?

This mirror sends the light from the main primary mirror out through the focuser. Watch this video to get an idea of how this works and how to replace it.
