Looking for instruction manual for orion skyview.

First WHY would you use a erecting DIAGONAL in a reflector style telescope. Upside down images are completely normal for an astronomical telescope. You only need this diagonal for terrestrial viewing NOT for star gazing. ALL astronomical telescopes show upside down and or inverted images- it's completely normal.

If you cannot come to focus with the erecting diagonal, it's probably because the diagonal moves the eyepiece too far OUT away from the point where the scope comes to focus. Again-- you do not use those for night time sky viewing. Just stick the eyepiece directly into the focuser.

Only Celestron has the manual on their web site-- try another computer here is t6he link to the manuals page:

I have a scanned copy of the instruction manual for the Deep Space Explorer 6" and 8" telescope.
The manual is dated May 12, 1993.

If you would like, I will be happy to send it to you.

Not sure how to do this without broadcasting my email to the universe, but I will check back here later to see what can be done.

What exactly is wrong with the telescope? We need much more information.
