Bushnell 565 (by 2 users)

Comment by misstessie, posted on Jan 04, 2008

I purchased a Bushnell 565 off craigslist. It has an erecting lens, a Barlow lens, and 2 eyepieces. We can see through the little scope on the top, and we can see an image in the little mirror when we look into the refractor thingy when it is in the telescope. But when we put the lenses in and try to look at objects through the actual lenses in the daytime it is just black (no lens cap on). I've tried several of the suggestions here, but to no avail. Could something be broken inside the telescope? Needless to say at this point, we have no idea if this thing works or if it is just user-error.
Thanks!
