How to Focus Your Brass Telescope:

1. Fully extend the telescope – Most of our telescopes have three sections to pull out completely.
2. Choose a distant object – A bird on a rooftop or a ship on the horizon makes a great target.
3. Fine-tune the focus – Slowly push the first section inward until the image becomes sharp.
