The viewfinder is gonna be pretty crucial. It's likely wanting you to point it at Polaris - what you're doing is basically "zeroing" the scope. I'm not imagining the technology has shifted too much; you can probably find a manual online with a little hunting and if not, it might be worth calling Meade or a Meade dealer.

As to the rest of it I'm not going to pretend I have half as good an idea as F.
