Many on-line retailers sell finderscopes-- here is one--

It's usually a small watch style battery. Look around for a small compartment on the finder that holds the little battery.

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.

Bushnell has all of their manuals on this web site:

Join a local astronomy club and the members will help you with your telescope. Read my TIPS on my profile page.

Bushnell is NOT known for their quality telescopes. Sorry.

The red dot finder must be aligned with the main tube, you can do this during the daytime.

Focus on a distant object using the telescope like the top of a telephone pole. Without moving the telescope, adjust the red dot so it falls on the exact same object.

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.

Astronomical telescopes present images upsidedown, this is normal.

Please you any hobby shop. All telscope mostly similer.all eyepiese is adjust with any telescope.
