I just brought a Tasco 302911 114mm x 500mm reflector telescope from an op shop although it didn't come with any lenses. Where I can get lenses and which lenses do I buy?

Eyepieces come in 3 sizes: .965, 1.25 inch, and 2 inch. Measure the hole in the focuser. Here is one on line retailer that sells eyepieces.

Where can I find a manual for a Tasco Reflector telescope, Model 11TR

The Tasco web site does not list that model-- however it is a small reflector style telescope similar to this model--

Use the above manual to help you assemble the scope.

No "use" books for Tasco telescopes. Find a local astronnomy club and the members will help you with the telescope.

How much does a tasco 302675 telescope cost/

It does not matter what it costs! Do not buy a Tasco telescope. Very poorly made, some even have plastic eyepieces and plastic lenses!

Check out this web site and others for a better, higher quality telescope.

http://www.telescope.com/control/main/

I would also suggest that you look at a Dobsonian mounted reflector like this one:

Do not know how to get black cover off of lense

First are you sure you have the CORRECT end of the scope pointed toward the sky? On a reflector type telescope that uses mirrors, the focuser is on the side of the tube on the UP end of the telescope. The mirror is in the bottom.

Mose caps simply pop off, others unscrew. You may be trying to remove the BOTTOM mirror!

I have a tasco 302911 D+114mm F+500mm telescope

You are NOT focused properly. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the focuser. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one.

Go outside during the daytime and practice focusing on a distant object. Turn the focus knob back and forth slowly until the image is in sharp focus.

I WISH TO SET UP A TASCO 40-114675 TELESCOPE CAN YOU SUPPLY INSRUCTION MANUAL

You will not find a manual for that small REFLECTOR style telescope. However the picture above-- that you show in your question shows the telescope mounted BACKWARDS actually pointed toward the ground!

Apparently FIXYA also does not know how to set up a reflector style telescope. The eyepiece and focuser end is on the UP end of the telescope with the mirror on the bottom end of the telescope.

Here is a manual for a MEADE brand telescope probably very similar to your telescope.

Ensmble del tasco de 114mm- f=900

This is a small reflector style telescope. They all assemble the same way. I will give you a web link for a similar Meade brand scope that you can use to assemble your telescope.

Just bought,used, set up but cant see anything through any of the lenses

I answered your question in your other posting.

SEE this and look at the picture of the Dobsonian reflector. Notice the eyepiece and focuser is on the FRONT of the telescope. The mirror is the BOTTOM of the telescope.

I need the manual for Tasco Luminova telescope

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