New to this forum.  I have already learned a lot.   I recently purchased a Gskyer 80400  80mm telescope through Amazon.  It seemed pretty hefty while I was putting it together.  My first outing with it was a few days ago.  The moon was a day or so away from full moon.  So viewing was pretty easy.  Then we swung over to Mars and the next popular planets Jupiter and Saturn.  I found it kind of difficult to get the telescope in position.  It is on on AZ Altazimuth Mount.  It has no real fine adjustment capability.  I found I had to use a little force to get it to move and then finding the planets 5 mins later was a task.   I did get a decent view of Jupiter with the 22mm eyepiece. I was able to see the 4 big moons.  Saturn was pretty fuzzy.  Also no "fine" focus.  After reading posts here, I will play with the lenses and maybe try without the supplied zenith mirror.
