TELESCOPE OPERATION/INSTRUCTIONS - Optics

Sorry no instruction for that exact telescope-- However you can find instructions for a similar 60mm refractor telescope on the Meade web site-- they all work in a similar fashion.

Look under the REFRACTOR heading for one that is similar to your telescope.

This is a simple nrefractor telescope. Put the diagonal into the focuser and then put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the diagonal. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one. Practice focusing on a distant object during the day time.

All of Tasco's manuals are on this web site:

The manual has assembly instructions -- it does NOT tell you HOW to use a telescope to find objects in the night sky. Locate a local Astronomy club and the members will help you.

All of TASco's manuals are on this web site. Look for your telescope:

Here is the manual.

This is a reflector style telescope the focuser is on the FRONT of the telescope, the mirror is the BOTTOM of the telescope. All astronomical telescope show upside down images. It's normal.

Yes, uploads available at Meade's website. You will need their downlaoder program (there as well). NOTE: the operation can take about an hour, so run the telescope on external power so it doesn't run out.

I have a LX200 EMC 10". I had a similar software problem and solved it by downloading AstroFinder, bypassed the onboard software of the telescope, and controlled the telescope via my laptop. This was a more user frriendly method and allowed easy alignment of the telescope.

No one will have a manual for this telescope, However here is a picture:

This is a very simple refractor on an alt az mount. Sure wish you had NOT bought this "department store" telescope. It will be shaky and has a very small aperture. Read my TIPS on my profile page to find out how to improve a department store telescope.

All of the manuals for Bushnell are located on this web site. Find your telescope model, and download a free manual.

I really don't understand the actual problem? You have the manual-- have you assembled the scope according to the manual?

If you have --- put the eyepiece with the LARGEST number written on it into the telescope-- this is your LOWEST magnification. (Never use the 2x or 3x barlow that comes with these small telescopes -- it is useless-- just too much magnification. )

Now go outside during the daytime and point the telescope at a distant land object and practice focusing-- the moon should be your first target at night. Spend a little time during the day and line up the small finder scope which is usually mounted on top of the tube --- with the main telescope. Once they are lined up you can use the finder like a gun sight to point the telescope.

how do you get the picture right side up with out money!!!!!
