How to Use a Refractor Telescope

In this video we demonstrate how to use a simple refractor telescope on an AZ mount. This telescope was from Costco for about $200 (for some reason, they don’t list this online, you had to go into the store). It is similar to the Omni 102AZ, the Explore Scientific 102 series, and the Skywatcher Startravel series.
