That is a tiny 60mm telescope not much larger than a pair of 10x50mm binoculars. You will not find a manual for that scope.

Sorry, but you bought a toy telescope. We call them department store telescopes. Read my TIPS on my profile page. Sky objects are very tiny and most of them are very dim. You should be able to see Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and a few of the brighter sky objects that you can SEE without a telescope.

Buy several good Astronomy books like "Turn Left at Orion" and "Nightwatch" and download the free monthly star chart at www.skymaps.com ; these will help you learn the sky and point the telescope. USE ONLY the eyepiece with the largest number written on it. This is your LOWEST magnification. About 100 power is the MAXIMUM for that size telescope.

Why is the finderscope showing the view upsidedown?

All astronomical telescopes show upside down images-- it's normal. There is no up or down in space. You can buy an "erecting" prism for terrestrial viewing.

Do you have an eyepiece? The eyepiece goes into the focuser.

We can;'t focus our telescope on anything

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow if you have one. Go outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object.

This may help you --

Why when I look in the telescope does it view things upside down

Yes, that is normal wit an astronomical telescope. To make it right side up, use the mirror diagonal (look downward) and it will appear correct.

Objects going the wrong way

All astronomical telescopes show images that are upside down --- no up or down in space!

You need an ERECTING prism--

I cant figure out how to get the lenses to work?

If this is a small TASCO or BUSNELL telescope you bought a toy telescope--

Try this-- put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. This is your lowest magnification. Go outside during the day time and practice focusing on a distant object-- try to see the moon at night once you learn how to focus.
