What do I have ?

[Lordknowitall]

My brother gave me a Meade 12inch, cardbord tube that is 3 foot 9 inches long. Does anyone know any information about this and where can I find what model it is and where i could possibly download a manual for it.

 

the main mirror is 12 inches in diameter. disregard the stand it is something i came up with to hold it.

Any chance of a photo? It would make identification much easier.

The 12", is that the diameter of the tube or of the mirror?

Meade produced a 10" reflector in a cardboard (sonnotube) tube on either a dob or eq mount called the Starfinder 10.

I was thinking of the Starfinder as well.

Starfinder EQ manual is here.

Starfinder Dob manual is here.
