My fiance got me this telescope and there were no instructions in the box. I put it together using the only pictures/notes in the box. However, I can’t see anything through the telescope. Which of the two end caps, or both, do I need to remove to view anything? Also, when putting a lense in, do I need to remove the 3X or should I be able to slid it right in? I can’t tell if there is anything wrong because I really don’t know how to use it.
