Help with SCS Astro Voyager 90 telescope

[Yasmin]

Hi all,

I’m hoping someone might be able to help me.

To cut a long story short, I inherited an scs Astro Voyager 90.

Im a total novice but a very keen to use it and learn. The only issue is, there are many very complicated bits and little information on how to actually set the scope up. I figured I’d find and reach out to the store for help alas it sadly seems the I’m unable to do so due to the sad circumstance above.

could anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to set such a bit of kit up?
 

Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Whereabouts (roughly) are you, Yasmin?  There may be a local astro society that would be able to help you.

SCS Astro were a retailer based in Wellington, Somerset, UK. They closed their operation down a couple of years back. For a while they marketed 80mm and 90mm equatorially mounted refractors under their own branding very much like the Skywatcher Evostar 80mm and 90mm scopes and mounted on an EQ-2 style mounting.

So @knobby's link is as close as you can get today.

Here is a link to an instruction manual for the Skywatcher scope much of which should be relevant to the SCS Astro Voyager 90:

And here is a link to a video showing how to setup a scope on this type of mount, which should also help:

Feel free to post any further questions you have on using the scope and I'm sure we can help
