Description from the creator

This video is aimed at new astronomers who need some help on getting started or returning astronomers who may have forgotten how to use a dobsonian telescope. So if you are of the latter, this is going to be a good refresher.

1. Inspect & Assemble Telescope
2. Collimate Telescope
3. Align Finder Scope
4. Observe Through Finder Scope
5. Observe Through Eyepiece

If you are just starting out, I highly advise that you first practice observing larger and brighter objects like the moon because it will be easier to locate.
