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.

ALIGNING THE RED-DOT FINDER

Perform the ﬁrst part of this procedure during the daytime

and the last step at night.

1. Point the telescope at an easy- to-ﬁnd land object such

as the top of a telephone pole or a distant mountain or

tower. Look through the eyepiece and turn the focuser

knob (3) until the image is sharply focused. Center the

object precisely in the eyepiece’s ﬁeld of view.

2. Turn on the red-dot viewﬁnder by rotating the large knob

under the viewﬁnder lens clockwise (see Fig. C). Turn

the knob to adjust the intensity of the red dot as desired.

3. Look through the viewﬁnder. Turn one or both of the

viewﬁnder’s alignment screws (see Fig. C) until the red-

dot is precisely over the same object as you centered in

the eyepiece.

4. Check this alignment at night on a celestial object, such

as the Moon or a bright star, and use the viewﬁnder’s

alignment screws to make any necessary reﬁnements.

5. When ﬁnished, turn off the viewﬁnder by turning the

large knob under the viewﬁnder lens counter- clockwise

until it clicks.

MOVING THE TELESCOPE

Your telescope is alt-azimuth mounted. Alt-azimuth is just

a complicated way of saying that your telescope moves up

and down and from side to side. Other telescopes may be

mounted in different ways.

1. Slightly loosen both of the star-shaped vertical control

knobs (2) and slow-motion rod lock knob (9). Loosening

these knobs allow you to move the telescope up and

down.

2. Slightly loosen the horizontal lock knob (10). Loosening

this lock allows the telescope to be moved from side to

side.

3. Once an object is found, re-tighten the control knobs.

You can then turn the slow motion control knurled

knob(8) to make smooth and precise movements as you

can follow (or “track”) an object vertically as it moves in

the eyepiece.

4. To use the slow motion control feature (8) aim the tele-

scope at an object and tighten the control knobs (2,9).

Then lock the altitude lock knob (2) and rotate the slow

motion control (8) to follow the target in the vertical di-

rection.

CARING FOR YOUR TELESCOPE

Your telescope is a precision optical instrument designed for

a lifetime of rewarding viewing. It will rarely, if ever, require

factory servicing or maintenance. Follow these guidelines to

keep your telescope in the best condition:

Avoid cleaning the telescope’s optics. A little dust on the mir-

ror or lens surfaces of the telescope will not cause loss of

image quality. When absolutely necessary, dust on the lens

or mirrors should be removed with very gentle strokes of a

camel hair brush or blown off with an ear syringe (available at

most pharmacies)

Fingerprints and organic materials on the optics may be re-

moved with a solution of 3 parts distilled water to 1 part iso-

propyl alcohol. You may also add 1 drop of biodegradable

dish washing soap per pint of solution. Use soft, white facial

tissues and make short, gentle strokes. Change tissues of-

ten. CAUTION: Do not use scented or lotioned tissues or

damage could result to the optics. DO NOT use a commer-

cial photographic lens cleaner.

CHANGING THE VIEWFINDER BATTERY

If the viewﬁnder red dot does not illuminate, verify the view-

ﬁnder is on by rotating the knob below the viewﬁnder lens

clockwise. If the red dot does not illuminate, the battery may

need replacing. To replace the battery, press the left side of

the viewﬁnder housing labeled “push”. The battery compart-

ment will slide out on the right side of the viewﬁnder (see Fig.

E). Replace the battery with a Lithium CR-2032 battery with

the positive side up. Then push

the battery compartment back into the viewﬁnder and power

on.

A NOTE ABOUT THE TELESCOPE

The Meade 102mm refracting telescope uses lenses to

achieve focus and is designed primarily for night-sky view-

ing where image orientation is not important. However when

looking at daytime objects often image orientation is import-

ant. For day time terrestrial use, the refracting telescope will

present an image that is left-to-right reversed and words will

appear backwards. This is normal behavior for refracting tele-

scopes.

For those interested in correct image orientation, Meade sells

the #928 45° Erect-Image Diagonal Prism (1.25”) that will

orient the image correctly.
