Newby dumb question, help!

Posted By Mike Higgins

Just back into Astronomy after several decades away. Picked up a nice used Celestron C8 on a German Equitorial mount, all manual. The collumination was WAY off after shipping down from Montana. With some great help from an expert from the Denver Astronimical Society, it's now colluminated. Question is: should the view in the daytime of a ridge line 5 miles away be crisp or fuzzy even using low power (40 mm). Mine is quite fuzzy, so makes me think I've an internal issue with my 35 year old C8. If so, how do I get it resolved? Thanks for reading! Mike
