Everything looks blurry

No matter what you look at, your target looks like a massive blob with no definite appearance. Whatever you look at through your telescope, it should appear crisp and clear. For example, the Moon’s craters should appear well defined, while objects such as stars and planets should take a ‘point-of-light’ appearance.

Solution

Check and adjust the focuser of your telescope to see if you can bring the object into focus. If this doesn’t work, it could be that your optics are dirty, so ensure that your eyepiece is clean. If you’ve cleaned your optics and you’re still having issues, it could be that the eyepiece that you’re using is defective, so try to use a different eyepiece to see if that fixes the problem.
