Blurriness Vivitar Telescope?
I have the Vivitar telescope and last night i was using it and i could see the moon perfectly but the picture was blurry i could kinda see each crater in the moon but it was very blurry, i tried wiping each lens of the telescope but it was still blurry. Is there any solution or cloth material i could clean it with so its not blurry?
Vivitar telescopes are very poor quality and nearly all plastic. All the cleaning in the world will not solve the problem of poor quality and bad design flaws. You have probably reached the limits of your scope.
There are several different kinds of telescopes and all of them have some excellent features. Refractors and Reflectors, plus Schmidt-Cassegrain, APO refractors and more. There are also several mounts to chose from and the mounts are just as important as the scope is. All of the different scopes and mounts have some features that some people like and do not like.
There is no one scope that is "better" than another except for the junk scopes out there, Vivitar being one of the many brands of junk, and all junkers are just a waste of money. Never, ever buy from Walmart, Costco, Target, or any other discount store like that. Junk scopes are flooded into the market from those stores. You will be buying nothing but bad optics and plastic.

Orion is the very best for value and for customer service too. I have 2 of their scopes and I will only buy from them from now on.
The Orion site has some excellent diagrams and explanations of all types of scopes and mounts.
Things to consider are size--can the user lift and transport the scope to the viewing site easily? If not, then it will gather dust in a closet. Can the viewer reach all the knobs and buttons? I have a long tube large manual refractor and it is very dificult for me to reach the knobs when I am pointed to Zenith. I am not a tall person.
Take your time in making your decision.
I would like to suggest that you join a local astronomy club or astronomical society BEFORE you spend your money on a scope. There are many different kinds of scopes and what is perfect for one person is not perfect for another. Everyone has their own set of eyeballs and no two are the same. If you join a club, you can attend a few of their star parties and try out members scopes to see what works best for YOU, before you buy a scope. The members can also help you when you get your scope and show you how to get the most out of your new scope as well as to help teach you where the treasures in the sky are located. Hint: they will be especially helpful if you take cookies to star parties. Most clubs have loaner scopes and extensive libraries that you can gather more information from too.
Some people will suggest that you purchase binnoculars. Not a bad idea but dont buy anything less than 10x50 and you must have a tripod too or you will not be happy with your astronomical views because they will be too shakey from your movements. Personally, I prefer a scope to binos because if binoculars are not aligned properly at the factory, then you get double images and distortions that cant be fixed.
But when you buy go Orion and you wont be disappointed. Don't try to learn everything all at once or you will be overwhelmed and discouraged. Patience is the key to Astronomy.
You will also need a good star chart program.

This is great freeware that you can download. Just tell it where you are and it will tell you what you see.
I wish you all the best. Enjoy

Barska BlackBlackhawk 20-60x60 Waterproof Straight Spotting Scope w/Tripod, Soft Carry Case & Premium Hard Case
List Price: |
DescriptionThe Barska Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope is a terrific value because it offers very good optical performance in a compact and affordable package. The scope itself features waterproof design, multicoated optics, and a zoom eyepiece with magnification ranging from 20X up to 60X. The accessories include a light weight table-top tripod, a soft caring case, and a durable hard shell case that will allow the rubber armored scope to stand up to a lifetime of use. The Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope uses a multi-coated objective lens and rugged porro-prism design for bright, clear images. At 100 yards, I can clearly focus in on a target, even when I crank the magnification up to the maximum 60X. When I use the scope for wildlife spotting, the sweet spot seems to be about 30X magnification; 30X gives me an ideal combination of sharp images and a wide field of view, perfect for identifying Puffins and Pelicans along the coast. I also like the compact size and light weight of the Blackhawk 60. At only 14 inches long and weighing less than two pounds, the Blackhawk 60 is light enough to use a photo tripod such as the SLIK U-9000 in the field. Like other entry level spotting scopes, the Barska Blackhawk 60 uses an Achromatic objective lens, which means that some false color or blue fringing is noticeable at high power. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality and value of the binoculars and spotting scopes imported by Barska the last few years. The Barska Blackhawk 60mm spotting scope simply offers very good optical performance for a very reasonable price. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Excellent price/performance ratio Very good Achromatic optics Waterproof design with rubber coating Premium hard shell case included Cons: Blue fringing noticeable at high power Limited eye relief for eyeglass wearers Barska 20 - 60x60 mm Waterproof Blackhawk Spotting Scope. Big name quality, big time VALUE! Cheap equipment just doesn't cut it. But the Barska Blackhawk 20-60x60 mm Spotting Scope gives you a great price on full-function features you'd normally pay BIG bucks to get. Engineered with unsurpassed optical performance and durability by those who understand the harsh hunting conditions scopes have to endure. Designed for the discriminating hunters who demand only the best, this Blackhawk is the best value in its class. Zoom in on the features: Big 60 mm objective increases light gathering ability for brighter images in low-light conditions; Multi-coated optics maximize light transmission for superior brightness and clarity; Powerful zoom provides 20-60x magnification; 91-45 ft F.O.V. @ 1,000 yds.... close focus: 23 ft; Complete waterproof protection is ideal for all-weather conditions; Long 18-15 mm eye relief and flip-down eyecups are perfect for glasses and non-glasses wearers alike; Glare-reducing sunshade included; Rubber armor designed to protect and absorb shock; Quality pan-head tripod; Premium hard carry case included, plus soft-side case; Approx. 15", 2 3/4 lb.; Spot your target without killing your budget.
