Bushnell Voyager 78-9945 Telescope - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Put the lowest power eyepiece in the telescope-- that's the one with the LARGEST number on it.

Go outside and practice focusing on a distant object at least 100 yards away-- turn the focus knob slowly.

You don't fix... you buy a new one... If it gets dropped means you get a new one or new scope...

I think I already answered this question. Eyepieces are NOT assembled they are one piece like this picture:

They simply slip into the hole of the focuser -- straight in. The larger the number written on the eyepiece the LOWER the magnification.

In the picture above there is a metal triangle holding the tripod legs apart-- it is called a "tripod spreader" or a tripod "tray"-- used for holding eyepieces and other small pieces of equipment while you are using the scope.

Hope that helps you.

1. Please read menual proper.You can see live demo through company website also.
2. Start with lower resolution eyepiece.For thet you see the meximum number on eyepice.Than you start first to see moon.Because mon is a brightest obect of the sky 7 easy to find.than you go planet etc.
3.Finderscope is a taegt shooter.Please switch of finderscope.You can see two red dot in the finderscope. Than you aline the object ine sky with two red dot. Move the telescope up to in line(Obeject which you want to see and two red dot).
Now you can see in the eyepice to megnifing image of object.

Take this scope back and get your money back.

Next time buy one of these.

Here are all the manuals. Find your telescope- look down this page:

The MIRROR is the bottom of the telescope. The focuser is on the side of the tube and should be th UP end of the telescope. Remove the lens cap.

The end with the focuser is the UP end of the telescope. This is a reflector style telescope with a mirror in the BOTTOM. Take off the lens cap on the UP end near the focuser.

All of the Bushnell manuals are located on this web site about 1/2 way down the page. Find your telescope and download a manual.

Many on line retailers sell eyepieces. They come in three sizes, .965, 1.25, and 2 inch.

Measure the hole in the focuser. The .965 inch size is harder to find.

Here are two retailers who sell eyepieces:

Obviously the mounting for the finderscope is NOT parallel with the tube-- probably the screw holes were not drilled correctly.

This is one of the reasons why we never recommend Tasco or Bushnell telescopes. They are considered "toy" telescopes and most of them are not suitable for Astronomy.

Return it and buy one of these:

OR re-drill the holes so the finder scope is more parallel with the main tube.

Look down the page and find your telescope.

Look down the page for your model.

The manual will have assembly instructions BUT WILL NOT help you learn how to the use the telescope to find objects in the sky.

Best bet is to have the parts welded together. You can try meade.com for parts as well.

No matter how much magnification you use stars are always just points of light. You cannot resolve a star into a disk.

Your scope will work better at lower powers. I probably would NEVER use either the 2x lens. The maximum magnification of any telescope is about 50 times aperture. You scope is about 2-3 inches so your max is about 120 power under PERFECT sky conditions.

Read the TIPS on my profile page.

Make sure it has a new battery inside. Then there should be a "dial" or a switch that turns it on. The battery is probably dead. You can see the tiny red light -- light up-- if you look in the front of the finder.

in shop

Sometimes there can be a plastc tab to take out so as the battery isn't drained while it's in the factory, store etc. just pop the battery out and check.
