20 Most Recent Meade Polaris 114EQ-D (36 x 114mm) Telescope - Page 6 Questions & Answers

Most Meade manuals are available on their support site: http://www.meade.com/support/manuals/ . Scroll down through the list for the LX200 series manuals (in the Telescopes section). The LX200 manual is listed as the LX-200 Classic. The current link to this manual is http://www.meade.com/downloads/dl/file/id/10/product/0/lx200_classic_manual.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Many Meade telescope manuals are available here: http://www.meade.com/support/manuals/ . There are several models in the LX200 series. The manual for the LX200-ACF is here: http://www.meade.com/downloads/dl/file/id/11/product/0/lx200_acf_manual.pdf . There is also a model LX200-R; the manual for this model is at http://www.meade.com/downloads/dl/file/id/13/product/0/lx200_r_manual.pdf . I don't see anything about a model with both the ACF and R features in this series. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Have you tried the manufacturer's website or support services ?

I suspect that what you have is a combination of two problems: 1. you are very far out of focus, and 2. you have too much magnification. Here's what I would do. Point your scopt at some distant trees. Use your lowest power eyepiece, and run the focus all the way from one end to the other. At some point, you should see the tree leaves....

Here is the manual. http://www.celestron.com/c3/images/files/downloads/1265966907_powerseeker114a.pdf
