A telescope as actually a light bucket. It collects light from the objects in space using either a lens, or more usually a mirror.A main mirror reflects the light to a smaller one,which begins the light to a focus where an image of the object is formed

How do you columnate a schmidt-cassegrainian telescope?

There are usually 3 adjusting screws on the front of the telescope over the secondary mirror. You point the telescope at a bright star and then defocus it this forms a donut-like image in the telescope. If you center the "doughnut" in the middle of the telescope view you will see that the "doughnut" has the dark area in the middle off center (If the scope is not colminated properly). What you want to do is move the doughnut to the edge of the telescope in the direction where the dark center is "out of center". Now you will tighten one of the three screws in the front. The way to figure out which screw to adjust is by placing your finger in front of the scope where the doughnut is out of center. You will see a dark line in the doughnut image where your finger is and it will actually be pointing to one of the three screws in front - that screw needs to be tightened. You repeat these steps until when you put the dougnut in the center view of the telescope and see a perfect looking "doughnut" with the dark part centered perfectly.

Can a 500mm telescope see stars?

Definitely, a 500-mm (20-inch) telescope is a large instrument because 500 mm is the diameter of the main mirror or lens, so the telescope would be 3-5 metres long. A telescope this size could see faint stars down to a magnitude of round about 15. Remember that you don't need any telescope at all to see stars. On a clear night in a dark place, you can see a few thousand of them with only your eyes.

Is the pleides star cluster within the milky way galaxy?

Yes it is. Everything you can see without a telescope (nd most of what you can see with a small telescope) is within the Milky Way galaxy with the notable exception of the Andromeda galaxy which you can see with the unaided eye. (But it should be pretty dark to be able to see it).
