Congratulations on your purchase of a Celestron spotting scope! Whether your interest lies in nature or sports this spotting scope offers the finest in optical quality guaranteed to give you years of viewing pleasure.

Removing the Lens Cap

To protect the objective lens from scratches and dust, the spotting scope has a lens cap over the front of the tube. The lens cap simply press fits onto the front of the spotting scope and can be removed by gently pulling it forward.

Attaching the Spotting Scope to the Tripod

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

•Spread each tripod leg outward until they come to a stop.

•With the tripod mounting platform level, lock down the altitude locking knob.

•Place the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform and thread the tripod mounting screw into the hole in the bottom of the tube.

Using the Tripod

Your tripod is equipped with slow motion controls and a central column that can be raised for more comfortable viewing.

•To raise the central column, turn the central column locking

ring counter clockwise, then raise the spotting scope to the desired height. Turn the tightening ring clockwise to lock into place.

•To help center objects at high magnification, slowly turn the two slow motion control knobs located on the mount head.

Focusing

Turn the focusing knob until the image is sharp. If the knob will not turn, the focuser has reached the end of its travel on the focusing mechanism. Turn the knob in the opposite direction until the image is sharp. Once an image is in focus, turn the knob clockwise to focus on a closer object and counterclockwise for a more distant object.

Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
