SOURCE: edu science reflector telescope instructions 600x

This is a small refractor telescope-- they pretty much all work the same-- BUT don't expect to get more than 100 power out of the scope. Yes I know the box said 600 power but it's a lie. In my 8 inch telescope I rarely get above 250 power and my scope is many times larger than the one you have--

Now put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope-- the LARGER the number the LOWER the magnification. During the day time practice focusing on a distant object --- AND line-up the small finder scope on top with the main telescope tube. Look at the top of a distant light or church steple, or telephone pole. Without moving the telescope adjust the small finder scope by loosening and tightening the screws around the tube holding the finder scope-- put the crosshairs on the same spot as the main telescope.

Now you can use the small finder to locate objects in the sky-- the moon should be your first night time target.

SOURCE: I was given a edu-science reflector telescope 600

Sorry there are no manuals available for this telescope being sold by Toys R US. Maybe the store has one you can copy. Why not locate an Astronomy club nearby and have the members help you with the scope.

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.

Hi,\r\nThere is no manual in the kit. Where can I find one ?

You will not find a manual for those EDU Science scopes being sold by Toys R Us. Also you never said what style of telescope you have so we can help you. Iws it a reflector or a refractor?

These are sold by Toys R US. Good luck with the scope, but it is one of the ones with many bad reports.

You will not find a manual for that REFLECTOR. However they all assemble and are used in a similar fashion.

Meade has all of their manuals on the web site listed below. Look under the 4.5 inch REFLECTOR header for one that is similar to your telescope; and read my TIPS on my profile page.

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.

Reflector telescope 525 power bought at a yard sale with no instructions. Is there a manual or any information on how to use this product? I'm not even sure all the pieces are here.

You will not find a manual for that telescope. However Meade maintains a web site for their telescope manuals. Look under REFRACTOR or REFLECTOR for one similar to your telescope. They all go together in a similar fashion.
