You can get this through your local county survey. Once you find it then you train your scope on the North star. From there just use the markings on the scope fork and your on your way. If you set it up correctly you should be able to find any object in the night sky just by using the proper declination and acension that are already recorded in catalogs. Like Messies catalog of galaxis for instance. You need to find your latitude and longitude where you live. You can get this through your local county survey.

Not much is showing up on web searches, either. What I suggest is that you look at pictures of telescopes and see if you can find one that looks similar to your own. I'd check Meade and Celestron as they pretty much have all the different types of scopes in their catalogs. Once you find a similar model, look at the instructions for it. Telescopes of a particular design usually aren't very different from each other, so it should get you going. I’m not familiar with that telescope model at all.

It has 120mm lens and 1000mm focal length f/8.3. Is this a good telescope or would you recommend a reflector or something else?

If you bust your ass off working for a whole summer or something you could afford one. You can get really good reflectors for $500 or less. I bought a 6 inch Newtonian reflector for $420 US and it is the definition of bang for your buck. Dobsonians are also just as affordable, if not more. Do it up, kid. You won't regret it. @rockguitar312 Don’t give up kid. If you bust your ass off working for a whole summer or something you could afford one. You can get really good reflectors for $500 or less.
