Both screws push off of the peg on the tripod head, which means you may have to loosen one screw while
tightening the other. The screw that holds the equatorial mount to the tripod may have to be loosened slightly.
Keep in mind that adjusting the mount is done during the polar alignment process only. Once polar aligned, the
mount must NOT be moved. Pointing the telescope is done by moving the mount in right ascension and
declination, as described earlier in this manual.

The Advanced GT can be powered by the
supplied car battery adapter or optional 12v AC
adapter. Use only
adapter
s
supplied by
Celestron. Using any other adapter may damage
the electronics and will void your manufacturer's
warranty.
1.
To power the telescope with the car battery adapter (or 12v AC adapter), simply plug the round post
into the 12v outlet on the electronic panel and plug the other end into your cars cigarette lighter outlet
or portable power supply (see Optional Accessories). Note: to prevent the power cord from being
accidentally pulled out, wrap the power cord around the strain relief located below the power switch.
2.
Turn on the power to the telescope by flipping the switch, located on the electronics panel, to the "On"
position.
