Location: Wisconsin		Ahhh, ok... I had no idea what you were talking about, sorry hehe. Well, I'm no ATM expert, but It will be pretty hard to get it to focus with just your hand and the objective. You are probably going to need something to hold it steady....

A star diagonal isn't necessary, but with a tube and focuser, it should come together and focus. Are the eyepiece and objective the only parts for it you have?
