Looking for help in setting up a telescope
I have a Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ which I have assembled but I am finding difficult to focus. I am looking for someone who could help in finalising the set up of the telescope.

I'm not familiar with that model, but I have a Celestron which is motorised and runs via the computer. It came with a CD with info on, but you can get manuals etc online from their website. Focusing is always a problem because the Earth is moving, which is why having motorised controls keeps the target in view.
I don't know if there are any, but it might be worth searching for a group in your area, as it's always better to learn from someone rather than a book.
