I bought this scope but can't see anything. Not sure if the scope has a defect or am i doing something wrong ? All i see on the sky is blur

I presume you've checked to make sure the you installed the lenses properly and that the lenses are clean. If this isn't the problem, it may need to be collimated although these telescopes are supposedly collimated before being shipped out.

Hello I'm not a expert but the telescope collimation might be off. The focus assembly could have a problem. Hope this helps.

When I got mine I did not have to collimate it. You do have to use the proper lenses and focus each one as you switch between them. I'd call Orion - they will help you out.

Don't know! When the scope arrived it seemed like it has been used and I returned it back. They were kindly enough to take it back.

Well there are two possible problems. One is that you may have such a small magnification, such as anything smaller than a 50 mm lens, that you are too far away to actually discern any detail. Another problem that you may have is that you forgot to loosen the knob that locks the focuser. This is located near the bottom of the place that you put your lens in. If it is tight then when you turn the focuser, nothing will happen which would lead to blurry views. Hope this helped! Clear Sky's

You really should not use the scope in bright sunlight. If you wait till dusk you will get better results. The cross hair are visible in sun like when turned on it highest setting. Also a min of 100 yards is really taking advantage of the scope. Mine is as clear. And as bright as my gen 4 returned my Gen 4 and purchased another one of these. Used it coyote hunting I have it mounted on a Ruger Ranch rifle 223 caliber. One night bagged three. I highly recommend this scope

sorry have not had mine long enough to answer that. but i will tell you that the magnification is not what i expected.would have sent it back but my husband 'hard wired' it and i did not have the heart to tell him i was not happy with it. don't buy it!

I just got one and couldn't see anything either. When I took it out of the box there was a 3" lens that was separate. I thought it was an extra. Turns out that it needed to be placed in the end of the telescope. If this is your case, unscrew the plastic ring at the large end of the telescope (remove the sun shade piece first) place the lens on top of the other lens and replace the plastic ring. There should be 2 lenses at the end. Once I did that I could see great! Start out with the largest eyepiece (25mm) to find objects easily.

Mine has no such ring---it may be a defect in the optics. I would return it for exchange.

Steve,The reticle is black and there are two back lights inside the scope that light up. They shine a red or green light onto the reticle so they appear to change colors. The problem is the light refracts and the reticle isn't thin and crisp looking. If you are shooting short distance they will work fine but why use a scope at short distance. Just leave the lights turned off and use it like a normal scope and it works great.

Mine sighted right in no problem. Try remounting it and use a bore sighter, if you can't line it up without using too much adjustment it could be a problem with the sight itself.

Clean the front and back with the cloth that came with it, which you probably already did. If that didn't work, take a q-tip and clean (lightly) out the area where the light is projected from. There can be dust on in it. Blowing on it could help to. A lot of these cheaper sights don't have a perfectly smooth reticle. Mine is a little blurry.

You need to get an eyepiece and see if it works - if you are able to view things after yiu've gotten one, that's probably all you needed

My scope had the same thing. I sent it back and they sent me an upgraded scope.

Its not a scope. It is a red dot. The eye relief is unlimited. It is not magnified.

I havent used this in a while but im pretty sure the magnified image will not be right side up. This doesnt matter for viewing things in the sky but is not very good for viewing things on the ground. I would choose something else for your purpose...

Only the reticle (cross hairs) from the eye piece. The object (view) could not be. I have been told by a friend that some scopes have another adjustment on the other end that adjusts range focus (I'm not sure about that). Honestly, I am not sure if mine was not just defective, or just too cheap for proper focus. I my case I wanted a scope that was useful at a distance that was further than I could simply use open sights. I mean why else buy a scope?

My answer is the same as Chris's. The front sight is not visible looking through my Nikon P-233 scope.
