I am a beginner, and I no longer have a manual. My telescope is a model type 78-4678, 900 mm focus length, 4.5 inch objective lens. I am unable to get any images with my telescope, regardless of which lens I use, and despite making my attempts in an area with little light interference. Basically, I am failing miserably at using this item, and would appreciate a step by step breakdown on precisely what to do.

This is a very simple refractor style telescope-- put the diagonal into the back of the telescope then put ONLY the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the diagonal. Practice focusing during the day time -- on a distant object.

This is just like the scope Galileo used 400 years ago! Nothing to it-- but realize that it is ONLY 50mm in aperture the same size as a pair of 10x50mm binoculars.
