Orion SkyQuest XT8 Classic Dobsonian Telescope Kit

and this is a video on tips and techniques of how to use the Orion xt8 classic Dobsonian telescope it's really not much to it this is a very simple telescope use it just pivots up and down left and right and just moving around by hand as you follow objects so there's no polar aligning necessary nothing really difficult at all it's about the easiest type of telescope to use but there are a few key things to know before you get there so let's go through some of those things and and learn a little bit more about it the first thing you're going to want to do is align the finder scope when you first put this on from the assembly instructions in the manual it's on there but it's not pointing at the same thing that the telescope is there ones pointing this way ones pointy a little bit off so it's not calibrated and if you try to find something in the night sky with an uncalibrated finder scope
