I want to buy this telescope as a gift. I also plan to buy the camera to go with it. what other accessories should I get? Is there a computer disk etc

I would get some light filters with it. The eyepieces it comes with are good so I wouldn't buy more eyepieces right away. As for the disc yes it comes with a cool program to find stars, it gives you coordinates to locate and some useful tools.

Yes, it comes with everything you need. Included is a 25mm eyepiece as well as a Barlow 2x lens, but only the eyepiece is needed to use the telescope.

We absolutly enjoy using the Meade 20218, however i'm not sure what other lenses will work. For the price, great telescope!

Sheryle, can you locate the company that you purchased this from on Amazon, if so, contact them as I responded to their inquiry how satisfied I was with this telescope and I did get a response back from them... and I have a positive feeling that they would send what you need to set up your scope. My grandson loves his telescope

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

It is meant to attach to a tripod so the camera can wheel around. Be more specific. Telescopes come in all sizes. The scope has to have some way to attach to the tripod. Do you need wheels?

I had contacted the Little Tikes company for a replacement telescope and got it; visit their website and contact customer service. Good luck

Patty, Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope comes with a mount and is not compatible with other mounts. It is designed to sit on the ground and will locate and track objects for you. Sincerely, Orion Customer Service

I received an owners manual that showed basic assembly. the online full color guide I do not know what where to go for that. to properly align the mirrors google how to align a reflector telescope, to better explain how to use the telescope try how to use equatorial telescope mount

I am not quite sure there's an app for this telescope. I am so bummed to report that the telescope that I purchased for my father hasn't worked to the day. :(

Hi Amy, unfortunately the telescope was a gift so I am unsure of its full capabilities. Perhaps if you contact the manufacturer directly, they may be able to assist you better.

The telescope does not have a picture option. If u take one with a camera it will most likely not look very good. There may be an attachment u can find somewhere for an extra cost but right out of the box there is no option for pictures

Absolutely. You will need some additional parts, though. You'll need an adapter to mount to your camera, and a T-Adapter. Depending on your needs, you may also want a barlow lens. When you have all of that, you attach the camera, focus, and start snapping pics. It helps to have a remote for your camera so that you can snap the picture without touching the telescope, which could cause movement that would ruin your picture.

This attaches your camera to your telescope. So you can take pic of what your telescope sees. It depends on how much your telescope can zoom.

It's super easy to set up, although it is a plastic housing and adjustment knobs, so it will be touchy to focus just right. The tripod is super cheap, and you will need to invest in something that is heavy and has better manipulation controls than what this ships with. I will say though, the telescope itself is very clear and provides a pretty decent picture. I don't feel that I got a bad deal on it at all and have used it a lot over the last year and some months. Again, the tripod is cheap, but for the price you can't go wrong. Oh, and the carry bag is awesome.

SKK, I'm not sure how to help you??I ordered the telescope for the science teacher at school I've NEVER used the telescope I don't know if the science used it with her students? My suggestion would be call or write the manufacturer. Check your instruction booklet if there's one??I just volunteering at a school and have access to Amazon that teachers don't have, I'm live out side of the US in a poor third world country! Hope you can get your problem answered?
