While you're here, how about checking out the Astronomy Book List ?

The Pictor manual at the Meade Website states:

"4. Take the focusing ring and slide it over the guiding barrel. You
will need to unscrew the black back of the barrel, then slide the ring
on, and reattach the black back. Slide the focusing knob until it is
against the black end of the barrrel (the end that screws on to the
Pictor). Now tighten the ring by using the thumbscrew."

This is different from my manual dated 09-97-01. Both refer to
unscrewing the black back of the barrel, yet my barrel does not seem be
in "two parts". Are there different "versions" of the imaging barrel?
I was thinking of taping a razor blade to the imaging barrel to test out
focusing using the Foucault (knife-edge) test.
