I plan on buying a telescope, after observing the sky for quite some time with binoculars. My budget however is kinda small so I plan on buying a used reflector telescope(skywatcher 8′ dobsonian), but i must first ensure that it is in good condition. What should I check and how to make sure that it is working correctly?
