Hello reader , I recently received a 60mm x 700mm tasco telescope as a gift,read through the brochure but it did not give me indication how to assemble all the pieces nor does the software on the cd give me guidance.How can start using my telescope?

Hi...

I'm sure if you contacted the official Tasco site below, you can get a manual to hook up your telescope:

I hope this helps you!

This youtube video should give you some idea of eye piece types and sizes and their benefits.

You should be able to use the instructions for a typical refractor type telescope. Try this site.

This is aperture (front diameter) 60mm and focal length 700mm, a typical telescope of its size. It is probaly a 80AZ model. An instructional video is here

My Uncle recently passed on. I got is telescope. I have a 2 yr, old newer and stronger one. What is his Tasco 60mm 500x240x150
Reg.#57500 worth now? Its around a 1962 Model.

You will not find a manual for that telescope- however Meade maintains a web site with manuals for their telescopes. Look under REFRACTOR -- for one that is similar to your telescope.

Thank you for the reply.
No thank you not interested in the plan.
I purchased the tasco lenses that were for a different tasco scope, and tried them on both the tasco
galaxsee scop and a bushnell that I have and they worked perfectly on both.
Thanks again.

Tasco Starguide ST-60700CT is virtually identical to NexStar 60 GT and the NexStar manual can be downloaded from
