Came home last night from a camp of over 100 people for the weekend - very busy, including an ambulance call out. Spent two hours driving people to airport and drop offs… Thought I’d spend 15 mins de-escalating over a new build. Chose the telescope, due to the blood moon happening tomorrow.
Unfortunately struggled with step three, so set it aside and went to bed! Am sure I’m reading the instructions right, but can’t get the end piece on. Will look at it again tomorrow.
I hope you will be able to complete it.
Trying to decompress with the telescope because of the blood moon? Honestly, that’s such a lovely idea. 
A few gentle suggestions for tomorrow:
Double-check the piece orientation (some ends look symmetrical but aren’t).
Make sure tabs are fully seated before adding the end piece.
Lightly loosen and re-seat the previous step
If paint is involved, check for tiny buildup on the joints.
Tired brains and precision kits are not friends 
You’ll probably look at it tomorrow and it’ll click in five minutes. Let me know how round two goes!
I hope that you this figured out by now. I haven’t done this one…but I certainly would like to.
I’ve not seen this one…looking forward to your finished telescope.
I hope you’ll resolve the issues on the telescope. 
I’m looking forward to the finished item. 
How did you go? Did you end up finishing before the blood moon?
