Assembling Your CM-1100 • 19
Because of the Celestron CM-1100's size and weight, you should ALWAYS

remove the telescope from the mount when moving the telescope. To do so:
1. Take the telescope off of the mount and return it to its shipping box.
2. Remove the counterweight from the counterweight bar.
3. Remove the counterweight bar from the mount.
4. Remove the finderscope from the optical tube.
5. Take the equatorial mount off of the central column.
6. Remove the center leg brace from the tripod.
7. Collapse the tripod legs inward, towards each other.
The telescope is now broken down into enough pieces to be easily transported.
When not in use, your Celestron CM-1100 can be left fully assembled and set
up. However, all lens and eyepiece covers should be put back in place. This
will reduce the amount of dust build-up on all optical surfaces and reduce the
number of times you need to clean the instrument. You may want to return
everything to its original shipping container and store it there. If this is the
case, all optical surfaces should still be covered to prevent dust accumulation.
If you are in the field, and plan on being there for a few days, use a plastic tarp
to cover the telescope and mount.
