Thanks Brent, that's what's in my manual too.

I spoke to Jim at Questar this morning and he said that as much as anything, it's a matter of getting used to it and that dimmer objects were harder to pick up visually because the finder doesn't use light gathering optics unlike what I'm used to when I use my refractors.
