Note: I’ve had a few visitors to the site looking for the instruction manual for this telescope. Unfortunately, I bought this telescope second-hand and was not provided with the manual. Additionally, I have tried to locate a PDF version online of the original instruction manual for the Meade 127NT telescope but have not been successful.  If you find the original manual online in downloadable PDF please let me know and I’ll link to it on this page.
