Thanks for the help. I will do that.

Took off this part. You can see the light reflecting off the inside of it.

Hey! I figured it out! I unscrewed the front thing, and now there is no fogginess! It must have been reflecting sunlight through the entire thing causing images to look white.

It definately works better with less light.

Yes, I was looking towards where the sun was coming up. (It was on that side of the sky) So it is probably what you said. But is there a way to fix this? And should it work fine at night? I mainly got it to see the stars and planets and the moon.

First off, it's not my window, or my reflector. I looked through the reflector by itself, and everything looked fine. No fogginess there. I've tried opening the window with the same results. Also, I used a different clean tissue for cleaning the rest of the telescope. Sorry or the misunderstanding. I should have said I used a different tissue. I just used it to get rid of dust. But now that the sun is up where I live, it is getting even more foggy. Maybe it's too bright? Is that even a thing? It wasn't as foggy yesterday and it was cloudy.

My telescope lens is about 3.5 in. or 9 cm. The telescope part is about 10 in. long, or 25.5 cm. And the whole thing is about 19 3/4 in. or 50 cm long. I couldn't take any actual pictures through the telescope. The line of sight would dissappear when I got close enough to see through it with my camera.

I was using a HM 25mm eyepiece, and I was looking at my chickens, LOL, about 100 yards away. To clean the lenses, I cleaned the one in front with a wet wipe and a tissue. Looked just fine afterwards. Then, I used the tissue to wipe off the dust in the rest of the lenses. They all looked clean when I looked at them. What I mean by the quality is that whatever I was looking at wasn't blurry, but it was like I was looking through fog. I was using a diagonal, and I've already cleaned all the dust off with a tissue. Looked clear when I looked at it. I'll post pics and measurements in a moment

Hi. I'm new here, but this will likely be my only post if it is answered. My question is about my telescope; it was pretty cheap, only $20, but it was at a garage sale, so most stuff is cheap there. So anyways, the problem is that when I look through it, the quality is perfect, but there is a white fogginess that covers the whole thing like I am looking through a thick white fog between me and the visual destination. I've tried cleaning the lenses, because there was some kind of sticky stuff on them, but even after doing that, the fog was still there. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance.
