I want to thank everyone who offered there help with this problem.
So many folks jumped rite in with suggestions, and the help was more than I could ask for
the people on this forum were very helpful.
It turned out to be when I took the scope apart to clean and paint it, I took apart the secondary Mirror and when I reassembled it I put the mirror in backwards so when viewing I was looking thru the glass then to the mirror and this caused the ghosting images.
I set the scope up tonight and the images are brite & crisp My son loves his new scope when looking at the moon he can see lots of detail and no triple Images.
So my son and I wish to thank everyone for there help!!!
Also If this comes up again we will know what the problem most likely mite be.
