Welcome Dalton. That's a Tasco 40-114675 model.

See here for a manual. You can download it although the copy is a bit...rough!

Hi George,
I highly recommend you purchase a copy of Sky and Telescope. It's has an all sky map as it's centre fold. You'll find it easy to use, just hold it above your head and play match the stars. There'll be plenty of easy to find objects marked on the map.
Happy Hunting!

some of my best friends are Ravens.I'll look into that 'sky and telescope'
thank you
I'm in the northwest of Canada,Hyder Akaska is my closest neighbr. it;s mostly rain forrest and we don't usually have clear sky. but today is sunny and cool and I have my brand new scope set up.

Welcome to IIS George.

Download Stellarium www.stellarium.org it is great. Put in your town or lat/long and it will show you what star, planets and constellations are up. Saturn is in the northeast and is beautiful in the telescope.
