Install 8 AA batteries into the battery pack. Be
sure to install the batteries in their correct polarity,
matching the + and - terminals as shown on the
battery holders.
You can place the battery pack on the accessory tray
or you can hang it off of one of the bolts that holds
the legs to the tripod head. Plug the battery pack’s
barrel connector into the power port on the base of
the motorized fork arm.
Remove the lens cap from the front of the telescope.
Verify that the small Wi-Fi switch above the power
switch is in the right position. Then, turn on the
power switch at the base of the motorized fork.
Go to your device’s Wi-Fi settings, and connect to
the “Celestron-xx” network. Wait for your device to
confirm that you have successfully connected.

Launch the Celestron SkyPortal app and select
“Connect to Telescope.” Arrows will appear on your
screen for UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT. Use these
arrows to move your telescope. A slider near the
bottom of the screen will adjust your motor speed.
NOTE: The Astro Fi mount should be moved using
the SkyPortal app. The up/down axis can also be
moved manually using the slip clutch. This allows you
to move the scope by hand to a downward-facing
position for storage. The left/right axis does not have
a slip clutch and cannot be moved manually. Damage
to the gears may occur if this is forced.

CENTER THE TARGET IN THE EYEPIECE
Look through the telescope using your lower
powered eyepiece. Move the telescope until the
object you chose lies in the center of the view. If
the image is blurry, gently turn the focus knobs
on either side of the telescope until it comes into
sharp focus. NOTE: The image in your telescope
may appear inverted. This is perfectly normal in an
astronomical telescope.
Aligning the
Finderscope
The finder is one of the most important parts of your
telescope. It helps you locate objects and center
them in the eyepiece. The first time you assemble
your telescope, you need to align the finder to the
telescope’s main optics. It’s best to do this during
the day*.
CHOOSE A TARGET
Take the telescope outside during the day and find
an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight,
car license plate or sign. The object should be as far
away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.
