Meade telescopes maintain a web site with all of their manuals. Look under REFRACTOR or REFLECTOR for one that is similar to your telescope. They all go together in a similar fashion.
You did not say what model or type of telescope you have-- most of the Vivitars are very simple telescopes --- they all work the same way -- there are two basic types of telescope:
Reflectors -- which use mirrors, and the eyepiece is inserted into the side of the tube
Refractors - these "look" like a telescope-- and use a lens in the front and an eyepiece in the back.
Meade maintains a web site for all of their telescopes. Look here and download one that is similar to your telescope under Refractors or Reflectors.
Here is the Meade telescope web site, look around under REFRACTORS or REFLECTORS for one that is similar to your telescope -- the manuals are a free download. Most telescopes are assembled in a similar fashion --- and the manuals also have suggestions for using the telescope.
Start at http://www.skyandtelescope.com/howto/basics. Go to Yahoo groups. see if thereis one that supports your type of telescope. And of course there's the Dummies books. HTH, Geo.
