After the adventure trying to find the manual on my Meade telescope, I used Google Sites to throw together a Meade Manual site. I've only used PDF's from the Internet Archive way back machine.

I've still got more to process, and I've still have to convert and minor edit the old HTML to PDF instructions (example 2xx, 3xx). I've also merged the Addendum PDF's in to the main Instruction manual where applicable. 

 

It's currently up to 55 telescopes, 17 telescopes accessorizes, & 5 Microscopes.

 

Another Meade Instruments Manual and Resource Site

Looking for feedback on how to improve the site.

I took a quick look at it… looks great!!! It will be a great resource to refer people to. Thank you for setting this up!!

I downloaded almost everything off the Meade site about a week before they shut it down. Let me know if you were not able to download anything using Wayback.

Layout is nice and intuitive.  I have a 1/2 dozen or so "older" Meade PDFs I've collected over the years. Some you may have already, some I did not see on your site.

If you are interested, I can share...

It Looks great! But no LX200 ?? There is a lot of PDF's for them on the net I recently got one and did a lot of research: LX200 classic, LX200GPS SMT, LX200R and LX200ACF. 

 

PS Here is a site with lots of PDF's

Thank you everyone.

 

I've started keeping track of Meade product that exist and can't find the manual too or IA never captured a backup.
Example - (Not Telescope related) That really cool looking circular puck travel microscope & 9250 microscope.

 

Still needing to convert the 90's web page instructions for the 2xx, 3xx Towa's to PDF's, haven't found any PDF's for them.

 

Will start work on the LX200 serier(s) & the schematics & diagram's are awesome, will

Great work.

 

I couldn't find the 'LX200 Command Set' protocol, which is widely used not just on Meade scopes. Here's a copy...

I think the link to the manual page should become Pinned on the Meade Computerized Telescopes page!

Hello etempest,
I've just had a browse through your Meade Accessories listing and spotted an error. Having just bought a Zero Image Shift Microfocuser (#07080) - which came with the user guide - I clicked on the link and it goes to an equatorial wedge guide.

Hope this helps.
