Meade Polaris 114EQ-D (36 x 114mm) Telescope Questions & Answers
Cleaning my telescope
Safest way is to use a camera puff blower brush. A little dust will not affect the image. Do NOT touch the mirrors with a cloth as the dust will scratch the coatings. For really stubborn stains, you can rinse with distilled water and let air dry.
HOW TO CLEAN MY TELESCOPE
There's a good reason to ignore dirt, aside from reducing the things to worry about in life. A dirty lens or mirror can always be made clean, but a scratched one is scratched forever. Cleaning causes tiny scratches, or sleeks, if you don't do it right, and maybe even if you do. A few sleeks don't matter, but a lot of them will. So clean your optics rarely.
the traditional method for dusting optics is to brush lightly with a camel's-hair brush. Sold in camera shops, these brushes have soft bristles with minimum tendency to scrape grit against a lens. Brush very lightly. Store the brush in its container or a plastic bag.Camera shops also sell cans of compressed gas for blowing dust off lenses. Be careful with the kind that use liquid propellants; these have a reputation for spitting onto the glass and leaving a residue if the can is tipped or shaken in use. Blowing (instead of sucking) with your own breath is also likely to leave spit marks.
I need a manual for a meade d=114mm f=1000mm f/8.8
I just found it. I bought one too. Look on the Meade site. Look up manual StarNavigator NG Series Telescopes with AudioStar. It is 52 pages. There are 2 telescopes in the manual. The one you are looking for is there.

Objects in the sky are tiny-- smaller than the tip of your finger held at arms length. If you can focus on the moon and see the craters nothing is wrong except you do not know how to locate objects in the night sky.
