Where is the battery on the finderscope?? Do you have the deluxe Lightbridge? Ive got the deluxe model. I can't find any indication of a battery on my finder at all. Im guessing that it has to have a battery on it somewhere. When I first set up my scope, I looked through the eyepiece holder WITHOUT putting the eyepiece in. I read in the instructions somewhere that if you can see your eye reflected in the mirror, then it doesn't need collimating. I could see my eye looking back at me so Im guessing its ok. I just don't know how to collimate scopes, I never collimated my 6 inch dob.

I will try again with the trusses, maybe they moved out slightly when I carried the scope outside. Im a bit confused though because the red dot finder had the blurry dot even when it wasn't attached to the scope. Not sure if its meant to look clear when its off the scope but it definitely was blurry attached to the scope aswell. I guess its all trial and error at the moment because I get even more confused when I double check the instructions.
