No battery needed. This is a reflector style telescope here is Meade's manual web site:

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

Look under the 4.5 Inch Reflector heading for a scope. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser-- DO NOT USE the 2 x barlow.

Practice focusing on a distant object during the day time.

Most telescopes use a standard fitting eyepiece with a 1.25 inch outside diameter barrel. You can measure the mount where the eyepiece goes to make sure that yours is this size, then search on eBay or Amazon for "1.25 eyepiece" and you will find many available. Some of these will even be made by Meade, but any make will fit.

The other variable will be the focal length of the eyepiece, which is what determines it's power. The power of the scope will be the focal length of the main objective divided by the focal length of the eyepiece, so a 9mm eyepiece will give a higher magnification (and be dimmer and harder to focus and find objects) than a 20mm eyepiece. It is usual to have two or three different focal length eyepieces for viewing different objects.

You will find a large variation in prices, which is partly due to the difference in quality and type of construction of the eyepieces. Kellner eyepieces are simple and cheap, whereas Possl or orthoscopic ones are more complex and cost more. There are reasons why people will pay more for the better eyepieces.

All of the Meade manuals are located here:

Find your model scope on the page.

This is a reflector style telescope on an Equatorial mount.

The mount must be polar aligned in order to use it. Read my TIPS on equatorial mounts on my profile page.

The eyepieces slip right into the focuser. The LARGER the number written on the eyepice the LOWER the magnification.

Here are all the Meade manuals, find your telescope near the REFLECTOR topic header:
http://www.meade.com/manuals/index.html

Meade maintains a web site with all of their manuals. Look under REFLECTOR for your telescope, or one that is similar. They all go together in the same way.,

Informatica

ebay, cloudy nights classifieds, are good places to look, i used an anteres crayford focuser for a 8" newtonian. this did require some modifications to the tube.

I believe the 114eq-dh is equivalent to the model 4504, and there is a very helpful egroup dedicated to those scopes: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Meade4504Telescopes/ You can download the manual from the link below: http://www.meade.com/manuals/m4500/index.html Please update the question & let us know if the information given was useful to you - Good Luck!
