Unbox your telescope and verify that all parts are present. Your
AstroMaster includes: a 114mm telescope tube, a StarPointer
red dot fi nderscope (with CR2032 3V battery), a pre-assembled
tripod with center leg brace and altazimuth mount attached, two
eyepieces, an accessory tray, a lens cloth, one insert card with a
download code for the FREE Celestron Starry Night Software, and
one insert with information about the FREE Celestron Sky Portal
app for your smartphone or tablet.
Ensure that all three legs are about the same length and the tripod
is roughly level.
Your fully assembled tripod should now appear as shown.
Spread the tripod legs apart. Loosen the tightening screws at the
bottom of each leg and extend each leg about 6 to 12 inches.
To attach the accessory tray, line up notches and turn clockwise
until tray tabs lock into place with the tripod brackets.
Back out the fastening screws on the tripod mount to provide
clearance for the telescope tube’s dovetail. Then slide the dovetail
into the mount.
Retighten the screws to secure the legs in place.
Properly assembled, the accessory tray should appear as
pictured above.
Center the dovetail in the mount and tighten the fastening screws.
For added security, tighten the angled lock-down screw next to the
fastening screw.
