MQ - or anyone who knows some astronomy/telescopes

We had a used Meade Schmidt Cassegrain scope donated to the school awhile back...its a huge one too, 12 inch aperature. Problem is, it is not assembled, and has no fucking instructions. I am not even sure if all the parts are here (I'm thinking they aren't, because I've looked like a monkey fucking a football trying to put this thing together...) It's motorized, has the built in object library, an electronic focuser, etc.

You ever put one of these ones togehter? If I could score a CCD, I could do some cool astrophotography...

I'll post pics of the scope if you would be able to help me piece it together.

Thanks.

What I was thinking. Surely they would oblige.
