You now have the nderscope properly aligned with the main telescope.
Aach the dew shield
Aaching the dew shield is not essenal. However, it is
recommended in humid weather where the nighme temperature
is expected to drop. It is best to aach the dew shield when the
telescope is rst set up, rather than waing unl dew starts to
condense of the front corrector plate lens. By then it is too late.
The supplied Astrozap dew shield is the 12v DC powered version.
However, the baery supplied with the telescope has insucient
capacity to drive the dew shield. But this is not a problem as even
without power the dew shield can stop the condensaon of dew on
the lens for many hours. Simple t the shield over the front of the
telescope so that ~80% of the shield extends out beyond the front of the corrector plate lens.

A note about the Hand Controller
There are mes when the hand controller LED screen will display an up/down arrow on the
righthand side. This means you are being asked to select something from a list of opons. You use
the 6 and 9 keys to scroll up or down through the opons list.
The Celestron CPC telescope has a
GPS chip to inform the telescope of
its current locaon. However, this
chip no longer works in the BAS
CPC. So, you need to follow a
slightly dierent inializaon
procedure to that listed in the
telescope user manual. We need to
tell the telescope the current me,
date and internaonal me-zone.
You are strongly recommended to
familiarize yourself with the CPC
Menu Tree (at the end of this
document) before launching into
the next steps.
