Anywhere in town to take a telescope that I bought at a yard sale? Don't know much about them came with 3 lenses and two lense tubes. Made by Tasco . Can't seem to get anything in to view.

Try the Astronomy department at BU, they did mine years a go.

can you post photos of it? Especially if you can get a model number as well.

Don't know how to post pics in a thread . Can do it in a classified but not in a thread. Anyway here is the info I found on the telescope itself. Tasco Galaxsee 46-060675. D=60mm. F=900mm Hope that helps.

there's really nothing that can be adjusted on that telescope. It's just a very low-end telescope with cheap optics and eyepieces. The lenses are likely just plastic. The only really usable eyepiece would be the 25mm, in certain conditions the 10mm might be of use.  
 
I also started with a telescope like that before moving into the real quality telescopes. I was able to view the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter with any good success. But with Saturn being low on the horizon in the evening, it would likely be not very sharp. The 675x power while using the 4mm and 3x barlow is achievable theoretically, practically no way!!  
 
Hopefully you didn't spend a lot on it.

Good to hear you didn't pay a lot for it.
