Some manuals for all sorts of equipment can be found online if you have the name and serial code. Might be worth giving it a go.

OK,i have something called a vixen sky sensor 2000 set up but no Manuel,is it worth me bothering with this at the moment. Secondly is there such a thing as a booklet that can help you set up a mount, scope, etc in plain English,with diagrams in simple terms for beginners....
The mounts are vixen GP-D AND GP with tripods and something called a quartz dielectric.The scope is a refractor 105 edapo.I will doing all the investigating i can, but any of your personal experiences to guide and to prevent mistakes would help.....Thanks. |

Hi Werry - best to have some personal tuition if possible. Suggest you check for local astro societies - they are usually very helpful if you bring scope along to one of their meetings especially under the stars! I know there's a Norwich AS and I suspect more ASs- good luck 
ps: I see an old sell ad in Astro sell/buy UK for last June for very similar spec for E England?
