Only from Toys R Us who sell that microscope.

Yes, all astronomical telescopes have upside down images. It is perfectly normal and nothing is wrong with the scope.

If you want to use it for ground observation like bird watching you must buy what is called an erecting prism diagonal--

here is one:

Sorry only Toys R Us would have a manual. None are posted anywhere on the internet.

You posted this question in the TELESCOPE forum by mistake.

No -- that scope is sold by Toys R Us-- no manuals exist anywhere on the internet. You can buy eyepieces from various on-line retailers-- measure the hole in the focuser. Eyepieces come in 3 different sizes--- .965 inch, 1.25 inch, and 2 inch.

Your scope either takes-- .965 or 1.25 inch eye[pieces-- buy the correct size. Here are two retailers:

By the way-- we receive more complaints about that brand of telescope than just about any other brand. It is being sold by a toy store.

Please specify your problem

Here you have some choice:

Hope helps.

You never said what model you own? However there are no manuals for that scope which is sold by Toys R$ Us.

You can however download a manual for a similar Tasco scope here:

They all assemble and are used in a similar fashion by telescope type

I do not understand your question?

This scope is sold by Toys R Us, we receive more complaints on this brand than any other! No parts are available and no manuals exist for this "toy" telescope.Junk it and buy from a retailer like Orion-- for example.http://www.telescope.com/

You posted this twice-- I answered your question in the other post.

It probably just screws onto the tripod-- this is a very simple telescope. Read myu tips on my profile page-- take it back to Toys R Us if it will not attach-- and never buy that brand again. We receive the most complaints with that telescope.

You download a planetarium program like Stellarium-- which is free.

www.stellarium.org

Install it and put in your location. When you click on an object the coordinates are listed in the top left hand corner of the screen.

You will not find a manual for that telescope brand. However Meade telescopes has a web site with all of their telescopes--

They all assemble and are used in a similar fashion:

Try these two web site links and look under the REFRACTOR heading for a scope that looks similar to your scope.

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

This might be similar to your scope?

Take the scope oput during the day tiome. DO NOT opoint it at the sun. Point it at a distant object like a telephone polem or a building.

Look through the eyepiece with the largest NUMBER written on it-- and or the largest glass surface.

Turn the knob until the object comes into focus.

Read my tips on my profile page.

The front is the part where the eyepiece and the focuser happens to be. That is called a REFLECTOR style telescope. Light enters the front of the tube and bounces off the mirror in the bottom of the tube. There returns and bounces off the small secondary tilted mirror out into the focuser and eyepiece. There should be an easy to remove dust cap on the front end near the focuser. That end is pointed toward the sky.

These types of scopes should be checked for collimation to determine if the optics are all lined up.

Try to find a local Astronomy club and get them to help you with the telescope.
