They are all down where the focuser and eyepiece is.

This is an interesting observation. In many cases, the more expensive a telescope is, the less instruction will come with it! My Astro-Physics refractor came with no instructions except how to clean it! My 18" SDM only has instruction for the Argo-Navis! That said, scopes like Vixens, celestrons, skywatchers, appear to have decent manuals. Can someone comment on what Takahashi's come with?
