What is it?

I picked up a used telescope. The only markings on it are "edu science". On the focus unit body it says "DIA 75mm" & "F=700mm". Its mounted on an aluminum tripod and is motorized for up/down & swing left/right (3 speed). The tube or body is all Black @26 1/4" long by about 5" DIA. It also has a Red dot aiming sight on top. Could someone pleast tell me what model it is and where can I find a manual for it? I'v included a picture.

Hi, I have an old Edu Science telescope with tripod, mini top mounted telescope/finder, and 4 other eyepieces/leses. I looked for the closes one I could find because I am missing something to allow me to...

Can you focus on a distant object during the day time? Do you still have the "diagonal" if this is a refractor style telescope? This is a diagonal it goes into the focuser and then the eyepieces go into the diagonal. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the diagonal and practice focusing during the day time. DO NOT USE the 2x barlow if you have one.

http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=3426071 These are diagonals.

I have a edu-science telescope that connects to the internet and is powered so that it rotates and finds the stars for you. I have lost the disk that belongs to the telescope. It has Dia=76mm & F=700mm...

Contact Toys R US that sell this telescope-- or use either www.stellarium to control the scope.

www.stellarium.org

The disk is not actually needed it is just a planetarium software like Stellarium. All the goto controls are inside the hand controller.

We are using an Edu-Science telescope with the number 2161002524A inscribed on the base. The lenses by themselves allow some light to come through but when I look through the telescope itself I see...

You must use the eyepieces--

Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one.

Need a right angle lens adapter for an Edu Science 102mm Asto Nova telescope. Where can I find one? Or should I return the whole thing?

Reflector style telescopes DO NOT need a diagonal. The eyepiece goes directly into the focuser.

Have you used the telescope with just the eyepiece? That is all you need.

I cannot get the telescope to focus. How can I do this? [email protected]

You did not say WHICH Edu-Science telescope you own.

However, put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope focuser. You can use the small mirror diagonal if you have one-- depends on the type of telescope.

DO NOT use the 2xbarlow if you have one just the eyepiece with the largest number written on it. Take it outside during the daytime and practice focusing on a distant object at least 300 feet away.

Manual for an edu science telescope F=700mm

You will not find a manual for that telescope which is sold by Toys R Us. However Meade and Bushnell both maintain web sites with all of their telescope manuals--- here:

http://www.meade.com/manuals/index.html Meade manuals

http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-warranty.html Bushnell

Look around the web sites under the REFRACTOR heading for one that is similar to your telescope. They all assemble and are used the same way.

Read my TIPS on my profile page and also read this web site:

I just purchased an edu science 102mm telecope. I

The end with the focuser. Then put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. I believe this model is a REFLECTOR, if it is there is a mirror in the bottom of the scope.

REFRACTORS have a lens in the front of the scope.

See this:
http://www.texasastro.org/telescope.php

Then read my Frequently Asked Questions TIP on my profile page. The picture you selected shows a REFRACTOR telescope.

I have just been given an EduScience reflecting telescope with tripod but with no manual or instructions. There seems not to be a seriel or model number, but it's mostly aluminium coloured with black ends...

You will not find a manual for this scope -- sold by Toys R Us by the way.

However Meade telescopes maintains a web site with all their manuals. REFLECTORS all go together in a similar fashion. Look on the web page below under REFLECTORS for a manual similar to your telescope.

http://www.meade.com/manuals/index.html

maybe this one???

Damage to the lip (end) of telecope edu science 102mm astri-nova. can this be ordered ?

You mean the focuser end? I suppose?

You will not be able to order a "part" but you might be able to find a complete new focuser assembly. Here:
http://www.agenaastro.com/Crayford-Focusers-s/140.htm

But notice that a new focuser probably costs more than the entire telescope! It may also be possible to straighten out the lip by taking the scope to a metal shop -- or car body shop.

You can try calling the manufacturer, but I doubt they will be able to get you a new focuser at a reasonable price-- compared to the total cost of the scope.

Next time do not buy a telescope from Toys R Us. Read my telescope buying TIPS in my profile.
