This is a very simple refractor telescope. Put the diagonal into the focuser and then put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the diagonal.

Take the scope outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow if you have one.

At night the moon should be your first target. Read my tips on my profile page. Objects in the night sky are smaller than the tip of your finger held at arm's length. The scope must be pointed DIRECTLY at them to see anything.

Can't see anything through the lens on a Galeleo D76

Put the eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it into the diagonal. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one. Go out side during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object. Be sure the lens cap is off!

Galileo FS-102CTC is not showing anything even after following instructions and adjusting the focus. I see my eyelashes and anything behind me.

This is a reflector style telescope with a MIRROR in the bottom of the scope tube, and a smaller tilted secondary mirror near the front of the scope tube.. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. During the day time take it outside and practice focusing on a distant object. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow if you have one.

The moon should be your first target at night. The eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it gives the LOWEST magnification.

Be sure the lens CAP is not still on the front of the telescope. The FOCUSER end is the FRONT of the telescope. It should look like this:

The teeth small pinion gear on the focus knob shaft are stipped

No. That's one of the trade-offs with cheap models, they can be fine but have absolutely no spares back up.

All you can do is to check whether the 'scope is covered by a manufacturer's warranty.
