sorry for the off topic post.

the telescope is:

Discoverer
Model No. 4 6305-A
Equatorial Refractor

I don't know the answer, but my suggestion is to try to obtain the
manual from Sears. Your message isn't off topic for this newsgroup.

I have one more suggestion if you can't get the manual from Sears and
if you don't get an authoritative answer from alt.astronomy. Try
asking at sci.astro.amateur. There's a lot of talk about telescopes
on that newsgroup. Don't let the "amateur" scare you. There are many
knowledgeable people there.

"amateur" scare me !! heck that's just one step above me.

Don't forget that amateur is a state of mind, not a statement of
ability. It's the opposite of "professional". "Amateurish" as an insult
was probably coined by a journalist or a politician, and both are in the
oldest profession.

Well, there is the old favourite:

Of course it presupposes that "Noah's Ark" or even Noah ever existed.. but
the point is worth remembering at times :¬)
