Assembly and Setup
Remove the parts from their shipping cartons and go over all
the items in the parts list. Keep all of the original packaging
so it can be used to transport the telescope safely.
Set the fork arm mount on a sturdy flat surface. Remove all of
the accessories from their individual boxes.
Tripod for 6” and 8” Models
1. Spread the tripod legs and stand the tripod upright.
2. Remove the Tripod Support Nut and Washer from the
central column attached to the top of the tripod.
3. Place the accessory tray over the central column so that
each of the three arms of the tray is touching a tripod leg.
4. Thread the nut and washer back onto the threaded column
and firmly tighten into place. The accessory tray should not
be able to move against the tripod.
5. Adjust the height of the tripod by loosening the lock knobs
on the end of each tripod leg. Then adjust the leg height as
needed and retighten the lock knobs, one leg at a time. Note
the leg index marks can be used to easily level the tripod.
6. Confirm the tripod is level using the built-in bubble level on
the tripod base.
Helpful Hint: When transporting the telescope, the tripod
can be folded with the accessory tray attached. Loosen the
Tripod Support Nut and Washer to allow the accessory tray
to drop, then rotate the accessory tray and fold the tripod
legs into the slots on the tray.
Mount
1. Place the fork arm mount on the tripod, carefully centering the
mount over the center post on the tripod head. Do not let go
of the mount until it has registered with the center post.
2. With the mount resting on the flat top surface of the tripod
head, rotate the mount until the three mounting sockets
align. The sockets will click into place, indicating they are
aligned.
Note that the NexStar Evolution 9.25” model, which uses
the larger tripod, does not click into place.
3. Thread the three attached mounting bolts from underneath
the tripod head into the bottom of the telescope base.
Tighten all three bolts.
Prerequisites
• AC outlet to charge the telescope with the supplied AC
power adapter.
• An Apple iOS device with iOS 7.0 and later or an Android
device with Android 4.0 if used without the included Nex-
Star+ hand control.
• Free download of Celestron SkyPortal app from the App
Store or Google Play if used without the included NexStar+
hand control.
• Phillips head screwdriver to install the StarPointer red dot
finder.
Solar Warning
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or
with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar filter).
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun
onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the
telescope and any accessories attached to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge.
Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these
devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered sunlight to
pass through to the eye.
• Never leave the telescope unsupervised. Make sure an
adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures
is with your telescope at all times, especially when children
are present.
Battery Caution
This product contains a long life lithium iron phosphate
battery “LiFePO4”. The battery includes numerous built-in
safety features including protection against overcharging and
overdischarging, and overheating. If reasonable care is used,
the battery should last thousands of charge cycles without
the need to replace it. To benefit from the maximum battery
life, note the following recommendations:
• Charge the battery to full as soon as you receive the
telescope.
• Only use the included power supply to charge the
battery, or an FCC and CE certified 12VDC power
supply with at least 2 Amperes of current.
• Do not leave the battery fully discharged or low for
an extended period of time.
• Keep the battery charged every 3 to 6 months.
• Do not store the battery above 140ºF/60ºC.
