Q1: please include better instructions with this model. Assume absolute ignorance - as in my case- where do eye pieces? go ? How does one use it. I have managed to put it together but am now left with a loand of eye pieces? lens? and do not know where to put them or even where to look through to observe the stars. xmas presents!!!!

A: The place for eyepieces is located just slightly behind the Objective lens (the part you point at the sky). Always start with the higher mm eyepieces and work your way down to the smaller ones once you have aligned yourself. As a rule of thumb you will want to start out by looking at the moon from ther you can pretty much look at anything.

Q2: Where can I get instructions for assembly and general information online? Thank you...

A: I believe you can download the instructions right off of the Tasco website but you may needto call them if they do not have the instructions listed. They can be reached at 800-423-3537

Q3: Can you see the plants, moon, other glaxies, ster clusters, and nebule?

A: Teh 76mm objective will allow you to see the planets, the moon, and many star clusters and galaxies. The key to seeing deep into space is the diameter of the mirror in the scope the bigger it is the bigger and brighter the images will appear.

Q4: I am having trouble deciding between Tasco 420x76mm Reflector VS Meade 70AZ-A Altazimuth Refractor, I want to be able to view Saturns rings and which brand offers more accessories. Thank you Roy Provencio

A: The Meade being a refractor will give you a much better view and Meade being primarily a telescope manufacturer has far more accessories available than the Tasco.
