manual abstract
Make sure the tray is placed over the tip of the bracket, so the bracket doesn’t cover the holes cut into the accessory tray, allowing for full use. 3. Insert a screw—with washer—down through the accessory tray and bracket. 4. Slide the washer and wing nut over the end of the screw. Tighten the screw completely. 5. Repeat this process for the remaining two comers of the accessory tray. Installing the Telescope Onto the Mount 1. Slide the altitude slow motion rod through the adjustment hole. 2. Place the telescope tube inside the altazimuth mount. 3. Insert the altitude adjustment screws (star shaped handles) through the mount and thread into the sides of the telescope. 4. Remove the lens cap from the telescope Attaching the Finderscope 1. Remove the two (2) small, silver thumbscrews located at the back of the telescope tube. 2. Place the finderscope bracket over the two holes in the telescope tube, lining up the holes on the finderscope bracket with those in the telescope tube. The finderscope should be "leaning back" when installed correctly. 3. Insert the thumbscrews through the finderscope bracket and thread them into the telescope tube. 4. Remove the front and rear lens caps from the finderscope. Attaching the Eyepieces 1. Remove the caps from the focuser (at the end of the telescope tube) and the diagonal. The cap for the diagonal is at the center of the top cover. 2. Insert the chrome end of the diagonal into the focuser. 3. Lock into place by tightening the set screws on the focuser. 4. Remove caps from the eyepiece (ocular) and place it into the diagonal. Lock it into place with the set screw. NOTE: Your telescope comes equipped with a hybrid diagonal for use with either .96" or 1V4" eyepieces. The eyepiece adapter comes set up for use with a .96" size eyepieces. The inner bushing of the adapter is easily removed so that 1 ’/4" eyepieces can be used (see diagrams below). Installing a Barlow Lens Some models come standard with a 2x Barlow lens, and Celestron has a variety of optional Barlow lenses that can be used with your telescope. The best way to use the Barlow Lens is as follows: First, you remove the diagonal from the focuser and insert the Barlow lens directly into the end of the focuser, then put the diagonal in the Barlow lens, and the eyepiece into the diagonal. Remember that lower powers have sharper and brighter images. Higher powers can be used when seeing conditions are very good. 4 Celestron’s Barlow lenses double the magnifying power of your eyepieces by increasing their effective focal length. For example, an 18mm eyepiece mounted on a 2x Barlow lens would have the magnifying power of a 9mm eyepiece. It’s like having two eyepieces in one — an economical way to increase your range of magnifications without buying new eyepieces. Please see Celestron’s Accessory Catalog #93685 for more information. NOTE: Some models come standard with a 1.5x erecting eyepiece (#21055), primarily for daytime terrestrial viewing. This eyepiece corrects the image you see in your telescope, so that it’s both right side up and corrected from left to right. Without this eyepiece, the image you s...
