Attach the Telescope to the Mount
1. Loosen the silver altitude clutch lock knob and rotate the altitude
axis until the quick release knob faces downward.
2. Tighten the altitude clutch lock knob.
3. Loosen the quick release knob a couple of turns to allow room for
the dovetail on the telescope optical tube.
4. Slide the telescope optical tube into the quick release slot from
the back side of the telescope. The fork arm should be on the left
side of the optical tube. For correct balance, position the telescope
so that you can read the Celestron EdgeHD optics nameplate.
If you choose to add accessories to your telescope, you can
re-balance it later.

Attach StarSense to the Telescope
1. Partially thread the two nylon-tipped thumbscrews
(included in the StarSense box) onto your StarSense camera
bracket.
2. Slide the StarSense camera onto the mounting bracket on the
telescope. Lock both thumbscrews.
3. Plug one end of the supplied coiled cable into the StarSense
camera and one of the 4 AUX ports on the fork arm.

Insert the Star Diagonal and Eyepiece
1. Remove the cap from the back of the telescope and thread on
the 2” star diagonal.
2. Loosen the two setscrews on the 2” star diagonal and slide
out the 1.25” eyepiece adapter. Slide the eyepiece into the
diagonal and secure it by tightening the setscrews.
3. To use 1.25” eyepieces with this telescope, remove the dust
cap from the center of the 1.25” adapter and slide the adapter
into the star diagonal. Slide your 32mm 1.25” eyepiece into
the adapter and secure the setscrews on the side of the
adapter ring.

Inserting the Battery into the
StarPointer Pro
The StarPointer Pro uses a CR-2032 button battery
(included). To insert or change the battery, turn the
StarPointer Pro over. The battery compartment is located in
the center of the on/off/brightness switch. Use a coin in the
slot on the cover to unscrew the cap counter-clockwise until
the cap comes off. Insert the new battery with the Positive (+)
side facing upward and screw the cover back on. If your
StarPointer Pro does not immediately turn on, open the battery
compartment to remove the small plastic disk that lies between
the battery and the battery cover. This is used to prevent the
battery from accidentally discharging during shipment.
If you are going to store your telescope for a long period of
time, remove the battery to prevent corrosion.
Attach and Align the StarPointer Pro
to the Telescope
1. Slide the StarPointer Pro over the dovetail base on your
telescope and tighten the two silver thumbscrews to lock it in
place.
2. Loosen the two silver ring clutch knobs and manually point the
telescope to a distant object such as a streetlight, car license
plate, tree top, or stop sign. (1000 yards or farther) during
the day. NEVER point directly at the Sun! You can use a bright
celestial object like the Moon, but we recommend choosing a
stationary ground target.
