Catadioptric Telescope Beginner Tutoring -- 2

I have just bought my first catadioptric telescope and, as a complete beginner, I’m keen to start using it properly without damaging the optics or missing out on what it can really do. My total budget for this assistance is up to 15,000 INR and I’m happy to break that into sensible milestones.

Here’s exactly where I need your expertise:

• Step-by-step guidance on assembling and balancing the scope, including any accessories that typically come with it (finder, diagonal, mount, tripod).
• Precise alignment instructions—both daytime rough-align and night-time star or go-to alignment—so tracking is accurate.
• A practical workflow for selecting, locating and observing a range of celestial objects, with tips on eyepiece choices, focusing and avoiding common pitfalls beginners face.

Delivery can be through a live video call (Zoom, Meet or similar) plus a concise written checklist I can print and keep beside the telescope. I’ll consider the job complete when I can run through setup, alignment and my first observing session confidently on my own, ideally within one clear night after your walkthrough.
