Set Up your Spotting Scope

Remove the lens cap covering the Maksutov Correcting Lens by gently pulling it forward. Then remove the zoom eyepiece cover by
turning it counterclockwise.

Setting Up the Table Tripod

Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support it for more stability when viewing. To set up the tripod:

• Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until they come to a stop.

• Make sure the tripod mounting platform is level by loosening the altitude locking knob and moving the platfor m to a level

position. Then, tighten the knob securely.

• Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw will thread into the

1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by tightening the screw firmly.

• You can adjust the central column of the tripod to the height you desire by loosenin g the central colu mn tigh tening ring (tur n

it counterclockwise) with one hand and holding the spotting scope in the other hand. After raising or lowering the central
column to where you want it, then tighten firmly the central column tightening ring.

• You have two slow motion controls – one for vertical (up/down) and one fo r horizontal (left/right) movements. The slow

motion controls can be helpful to center objects especially at high magnification.

Optional Tripod

For extra steady views or for doing photography, it is recommended that you use a medium/heavy duty photo/video tripod.

Using the Rubber Eyecup

The zoom eyepiece includes a soft rubber eyecup for eyeglass wearers. Fold down the rubber ey ecups to observe th e full field of view
when wearing eyeglasses. If you do wear eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecup in the up position.

Before Looking Through Your Spotting Scope --- A Word of Caution!
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent eye damage may result.

Observing with your Spotting Scope

Rotate the zoom eyepiece to the 25x position. Rotate the z oom eyepiece to change the power level of the spotting scope. Refocus as
needed. The brightest and widest field of view will always be at the lowest power.

Focusing

To focus, slowly rotate the focuser knob until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp. Refocusin g is usually required if the power
is changed. If you feel the focus knob no longer moves any further (in either direction), then you have reached the end of t he travel
range -- don’t try to force it to go further but you should refocus by turning in the opposite direction. Once an image is in focus, turn
the knob clockwise to focus on a closer object and counterclockwise for a more distant object.

Photography with Digital Cameras

You can use your digital camera (and some 35mm SLR cameras) to take photos with your spotting scope. Celestron offers a
Universal Digital Camera Adapter (Model # 93626) which makes it easy to attach a digital camera to your C70 Mak spotting scope.
Follow your cameras instructions for exposure information, etc. You will have to experiment to get the settings correct.

1.25” Eyepiece Adapter

This adapter is included with your spotting scope. It allows you to use astronomical 1.25” eyepieces so you can have various powers
and wider fields of view for specific usages. To install the adapter, you will remove the zoom eyepiece (turn it hard counterclockwise
to unthread it), thread the 1.25” adapter where the zoom eyepiece goes, then put your 1.25” eyepiece into the adapter and ti ghten the
thumb screw to hold the eyepiece in place. The pictures left to right below demonstrate the assembly.

Maintenance

To protect your spotting scope when not being used, put on all lens covers and the lens cap to keep the optics clean and then put the
scope in the soft carrying case. If your optics need cleaning, use an optics cleaning kit and follow the instructions.
