MEADE S102 USER’S GUIDE

WARNING!

Never use a Meade telescope to look at the

Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause in-

stant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye

damage is often painless, so there is no warning to

the observer that damage has occurred until it is too

late. Do not point the telescope at or near the Sun.

Do not look through the telescope or viewfinder as it

is moving. Children should always have adult supervi-

sion while observing.

INTRODUCTION

Your telescope is an excellent beginner’s instrument and is

designed to observe objects in the night sky and also on

land. It can be your personal window on the universe or al-

low you to intimately study the behavior of nesting birds on a

distant hillside. The telescope is shipped with the following

parts:

ASSEMBLY

The tripod is the basic support for your telescope and comes

pre-assembled from the factory; except for the accessory

tray. In order to use the scope a small amount of assembly is

required. Follow the below steps to assemble the telescope.

Note: Number in brackets, e.g., (3), refer to the item numbers

in Fig. A.

1. To setup the tripod, spread the legs out evenly and place

on solid ground. Loosen the leg lock knobs and extend

the inner legs to desired height. Do this for each leg until

the top of the tripod is approximately level. Re-lock the

leg lock knob.

2. Attach the accessory tray to the tripod by threading it

into the center nut between the tripod legs.

ATTACHING THE OPTICAL TUBE ASSEMBLY (OTA)

1. Remove the two lock knobs (2) from the optical tube

mount.

2. -Slide the Slow-motion control rod (8) into the slow-mo

tion control lock knob hole (9).

3. Place the optical tube (1) between the forks of the

mount, oriented as shown.

4. Thread the lock knobs (2) through each of the holes in

the forks of the mount and tighten to a firm feel.

ATTACHING THE RED-DOT FINDER

An eyepiece (1) has a narrow field of view. The included

viewfinder (4) has a wider field of view and red dot to make

it even easier to locate the viewing object. The red dot view-

finder also comes with an easy to install dovetail bracket.

1. To install the red dot viewfinder, slide the viewfinder

bracket into the dovetail adapter ().Fig C

2. -Next, secure the viewfinder in place with the single lock

ing knob.

REMOVING THE DUST COVERS

1. -Remove dust covers(6) at the front of the scope by pull

ing the cover away from the telescope.

2. Remove the dustcover from the focuser by pulling it out

of the focuser draw tube.

INSERTING THE EYEPIECE

1. Slide the 26mm eyepiece (5) into focuser draw tube.

2. Tighten thumbscrew to hold the eyepiece in place.
