Meade ds-114at reflecting digital telescope is what I am looking into buying but it is missing the eye piece where can I get one or can I get one at all??

You can use a regular deep cycle 12 volt battery-- or any 12 volt car starter battery. All you need is the correct 12 volt cigarette lighter style cable for your scope.

www.scopestuff.com should have the proper 12 volt plug for your scope.

Nice beginner scope Sold for about $200 brand new.

1 1/4 inch OD is a standard size for eyepieces. You should be able to buy eyepieces in other focal lengths at any shop that sells telescopes, or online. I found hundreds of them with a quick search on Amazon, some made by Meade.

Meade maintains a web site with all of their manuals here:

Find your telescope and print off a manual. Meade may also be able to supple missing parts. Here is customer service:

Sorry about Meade's responses, but their website has a download section for the telescope manuals - you may not find one that matches exactly, as they produce hundreds of models, but one that is close should suffice. As for eyepieces, there are several good vendors out there; Orion Telescopes, Meridian etc. Just check the barrel size; either .965" (Japanese standard) or 1.25" (American standard).

the eye piece that came with your scope is too powerful... look on ebay or a site that sells telescopes. also look at the size of your eye piece holder... my ds-114 came with a 0.96 holder, these are an odd size.. the other size is 1.25 and the eye pieces are much easier to find. try looking at the moon when it is cresent shaped and start from there. if you have the autostar, you have to go through a set up sequence to start. then the scope will track the objects that you select on the goto function. don't give up!

screw the sheild off its a lense protector

ebay is a great resource for eyepieces, i would suggest a 26mm ma.
the eyepiece should drop in. if not you might be missing the image erecting diagonal. when the eyepiece is installed you should be looking perpendicular at the tube.
