Well, it's back, and it's named "Celestron 21024-A FirstScope Telescope & Accessory Kit by Celestron" again, despite the likelihood that it is just the scope. Seems Amazon should ban this reseller, if what you said is true. Thanks for saving me the trouble, i almost bought one thinking the same as you.

You can use most of the Meade additional parts. I purchased the moon filter, and additional lenses/eyepieces are available as well as add-ons for cameras, etc.

Yes the telescope does come with the tripod. The optional sky scout does not. The mounting hardware on the telescope/ tripod does allow you to mount the sky scout on it to help with alignment of the scope

If you're sure you are missing any pieces, the seller's information is here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_ss?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=1&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller;=AS9UUXZ8KC49B#aag_legalInfoThe company's name is World Class, Inc. The instructions that come with the telescope are confusing at best. They include instructions for both an aluminum and wooden tripod for instance but it only comes with an aluminum tripod.

Yes, it came with a tripod and soft case (case for the tripod. No case for the telescope that you have to purchase separately).

No, it's a pretty easy telescope to use. I am hopeless, but our son was 12 when we got it and knew how to use it. I felt it was a great value for the money.

I bought this kit also and unfortunately I haven't been able to use it but once because it's too cold outside. I saw the moon and it's landscape and it's amazing . If you don't know anything about telescopes; you should try watching tutorials on YouTube or read a magazine about telescopes.

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

You will need a 0.965"-to-1.25" Orion Telescope Eyepiece Adapter to make this work. The cost is $22.99 plus tax and shipping.

Sorry to hear about your owner's manual situation. The owner's manual contains a wealth of information which includes the assembly of the base, mounting the spotter scope, focus and care. Anyway, I've really enjoyed my telescope but would suggest wanting until Orion sends you a copy of the owners manual before proceeding. It will be worth the extra wait.

Yes you can. I would go with this: Orion 08890 1.25-Inch Premium Telescope Accessory Kit (silver)I plan on going with that same set once I can afford to get this telescope. lol

no i think the instuructions are wrong, i have two of these and none have the telescope, it has just the CPU exhaust.

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.

Hi David, I had a similar problem when I ordered one of these off amazon. It arrived without the mount so I had to look for one. turns out, unless you buy the telescope straight from Orion, they will not sell the mount separately. However, if it was bought off of amazon you should be able to send it back. I contacted amazon and they gave me a full refund including shipping and they paid return shipping. Hope this helped =]

I can't directly answer your question; however, my NextStar 8 SE and all of the things that go with it (extra eyepieces, lights, etc.) except for the tripod, easily fit in the case. I can answer your question directly, if you get the dimensions of both telescopes, it should be easy to figure out if the scope that you're interested and will fit.Hope this helps.
