Hi

We don't carry instruction manuals here at OpticsPlanet.net, but you might be able to get something from Simmons. Contact them by calling 1-800-285-0689 or visit them at http://www.simmonsoptics.com/ServiceSupport.htm

Most telescope manuals at this level are pretty generic, though, and not that helpful on how to use a telescope. You might also want to look at my article on the basics of using a telesscope, Telescope FAQs, http://www.opticsplanet.net/how-to-buy-a-telescope.html

Hey, I just noticed a post from zapman r/t needing an instruction manual for a Simmons telescope model 6450. I have one & I'm willing to fax or mail photocopies of it if your're still out there & interested. I may be contacted @ the E-mail address above. Very Happy

Bought the telescope for my son years ago @ Costco works well but would do better with a motor drive. Orion telescopes has single axis & dual axis motor drives that can be adapted for use with this scope. Mikey

I just downloaded the manual for a Meade model 4500. I found it by clocking on the Meade icon on the Simmons wed site. The scopes look identical.

Hi

That makes sense - Meade owns Simmons and makes siilar products with both labels.
