BAS – Celestron CPC 9.25 Telescope User Guide
This is a brief guide to seng-up and observing with the Celestron CPC 925 Schmi Cassegrain
telescope.
The Safety of You and the Telescope
The telescope is very heavy. And, its storage box is very heavy and awkward to li and place into (or
remove from) vehicles.
BAS strongly recommended any liing of the telescope and its storage box be performed by two
people. Also, the removal of the telescope from the box and placement on the tripod should only be
aempted by two people.
The storage box has wheels and detachable “wheel barrow” handles for easier movement. Or, the
simple rope handle can be substuted for the wheel barrow handles.
Telescope Components
To use the telescope, you will need:
• CPC 9.25 telescope
• Tripod and center support bracket
• Hand controller
• Charged 12v baery and telescope power cable
• Finderscope
• Visual back and diagonal mirror eyepiece holder
• Eyepieces
• A planetarium app (SkySafari or similar app) on a mobile device is also recommended
• Dew shield
Seng Up the telescope
Tripod and aaching the telescope
Place the tripod on rm ground and fully spread the legs. Adjust the length of one, or more, legs if
necessary to level the tripod top. Use the bubble level in the tripod top as the levelling guide.
Ensure the tripod posioning pin is poking up above the top of the tripod (this pin is used to inially
center the telescope on the tripod top).
Before aempng to li the telescope into place, make sure the opcal tube is pointed in the
downward posion aiming at the telescope base (where all the electronics aachment sockets are).
