out what im seeing Plz Help? Everything else is okay but when I look in the finder everything has a blur to it. I dont know what is wrong. I left outside for 2 days, no rain or anything but it was like 85 to 90 F. I dont want to have to buy a new one is there anything I can do to fix it. Should I clean it or what? Please help me because without my finder im useless. Do you think the SkyQuest 10 is a good scope? On a scale from 1 to 10 how would yall rate it?? Please Help.... ASAP!!
 
Have you tried focusing the finder? Most finder scopes focus by unscrewing the objective end of the finder, not the eyepiece. Read the manual.

The Orion SkyQuest 10-inch is a first rate beginner's scope -- in fact it is the telescope I most often recommend. I'd rate it about 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Scopes rating higher cost three or four times more money.

It's not a good idea to leave your scope outdoors, especially in the Sun, as the heat buildup can do a lot of damage. You should _not_ try cleaning it -- more damage to telescopes is caused by cleaning than any dust can cause.
