I bought a second hand Venture RX-9 telescope through CraigsList, but the owner didn't have the CD or instruction manual. I found the manual on the internet, but not the CD. Do you have a source for...

Sorry these are imported REFLECTOR style telescopes on a small equatorial mount.

No manuals exist for this exact scope but there are many just like it-- here is Meade telescope's manual for almost the same identical telescope.

I have a jason saturn telescope and everything is upside down

That's completely normal and correct for all astronomical telescopes.

If you want upright images for viewing terrestrial objects then you need to buy an adaptor called an "erecting prism" which sits between the eyepiece and the focuser. Astronomy telescopes don't use them as any unnecessary optical elements reduce image quality and contrast.

To get the correct sized erecting prism, measure the diameter of your eyepiece where it fits into the telescope. If it's 1.25" (31.75mm) then you'll find loads of them from online sites. If it's 0.965" (24.5mm) then it will be harder to find one as those sizes are only used on cheap chuck away toy telescopes, and any you do find are likely to be of very poor optical quality. IIRC, "Jason Saturn" was a brand name applied to a number of different models sourced from various manufacturers in N.America; the quality of individual models varies but I think they all used 1.25" viewfinders.

Your website no longer contains the manual for the Telestar 114AZ model and I'm in desperate need of it's use.

This is a small reflector style telescope. Any of the REFLECTOR manuals has enough information to assemble and use this telescope. Look under the REFLECTOR heading for one that is similar to your scope.

Where can I ontain a copyof the original User's Manual please?

From a Konus dealer-- however this appears to be a simple refractor telescope on an equatorial mount. ANY manual for a similar telescope can be used--

Here are all of meade's manuals. Look under the REFRACTOR heading for one that is similar to your scope.
