use a claw hammer it will work just fine.. 2 shots should do it.

Do a new install and delete the install directory 1st

It can take some time to get this correct. Make sure the mounts to the finderscope are correctly attached. I loosened all the screws and started over a few times. I use it in it landscape mode (so my motor doesn't keep moving) and target a knot on a nearby fence or a neighbors chimney. Once you have something close aligned, you'll likely need to tweek it when you get to things farther away.

Yes, for sure. You will need an erect image diagonal for daytime terrestrial use eg http://www.optcorp.com/os-d125ei45-45-erect-image-diagonal-1-25inch.html and a set of lower power eyepieces, say http://www.optcorp.com/opt-20mm-plossl-eyepiece-1-25.html http://www.optcorp.com/celestron-32mm-omni-plossl-eyepiece-1-25.html http://www.optcorp.com/celestron-40mm-omni-plossl-eyepiece-1-25.html

I would suggest logging on to Bushnell's website go to Support/Customer service and find where it lists manuals then you shoudl be abel to enter model number and download the manual which is going to be handy and possibly needed multiple times until you and yourgrandson get this Telescope memorized. I have found that most every manufacturer now has made it possible to download their products manuals from their web sites.

Try using the compatibility feature of Windows 7 to install and run your Celestron software. People have had success doing this. We recommend choosing Windows XP 32-bit as the choice for an operating system. At the time of this writing (May 2009), you can't update SkyScout beyond version 1.29.196 in French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, German, Japanese or Russian. This update is only available in English. Celestron will announce availability of future updates in all languages under the support tab on the SkyScout product page.(Updated 12/25/13) FOR SUPPORT ON YOUR CELESTRON PRODUCT YOU CAN GO TO THIS WEB ADDRESS http://www.celestron.com/c3/support3/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=view&parentcategoryid=218

There are various qualities of 10 mm, some fearsomely expensive. In the USA try here http://www.optcorp.com/manufacturer/orion?cat=14

subject: What do you mean I can\'t access these folders? I\'m the Windows administrator! I suspect that you have a virus that has decided that it doesn\'t want you to have access to anything on your computer and will try to stop you from kicking the virus of your system but why not get a copy of the latest GhostBSD LTS and install the OS by inserting the OSDVD into the DVD tray and hitting close and rebooting your computer and when GhostBSD boots double click install GhostBSD just follow the instructions given by the GhostBSD installer and you should be left with a system that does what you want and guess what you don\'t need anti-virus as GhostBSD is resistant to malware and viruses would require Root access to do anything but I don\'t think that you would even think of giving a virus Root access would you? and your machine will run much faster but if you feel uneasy about not having anti-virus then installing Fresh-clam and Clam-AV should give peace of mind.

generally under the edges of the covering at the eyepiece end there are tiny screws that are used to adjust the prisms in the binoculars, generally out of alignment issues are caused by the prisms being out of alignment.

Just Google "Jupiter" - heaps there in Wikipedia

Astro telescopes normally do show an inverted image, since for most purposes this does not matter. For terrestrial viewing, such as thru someone's window, you can buy an "erect image" or "correct image" prism which gives an upright image. http://www.optcorp.com/telescope-accessories/optical-tube-accessories/diagonal-prism-eyepiece-holder.html?a_diagonal_design_f=1090 I don't know of such a thing for the finder scope, you would have to buy a new finder. http://www.optcorp.com/celestron-9x50-illum-ra-correct-image-finderscope-93781.html

A 10 mm. If you know the focal length of your scope, divide that by the focal length of the eyepiece, and the answer is the magnification you will get. However bear in mind when viewing astro objects, a very high magnification will degrade the image sharpness, and make the object hard to get on centre. Most experienced amateur astronomers use a medium power eyepiece at most.

From the sound of it, your telescope is not properly collimated (optically aligned). Since you don't say what type or model it is, I can't give specific advice, but a Dobsonian type especially may need this adjustment. Post again with the type or model you have.
