Celestron SS80 User Manual

INTRODUCTION
A spotting scope is nothing more than a telescope that is designed to
look around the Earth. Unlike astronomical telescopes, which pro¬
duce inverted or reverted images, spotting scopes produce correctly
oriented images. Celestron offers many different models, each of
which uses the highest quality optics to produce the best possible
images. This manual covers the SS80 and the C90, two of the most
compact spotting scopes on the market today. Both models have
rug^, durable housings to give you a lifetime of pleasure with a
minimal amount of maintenance.
How to Use this Manual
This manual explains the proper use of your Celestron spotting scope
— from initial set up to on-going use. Since this manual covers two
spotting scopes, it is broken down into several sections. The first
covers attaching your spotting scope to a stable platform, like a
photographic tripod, so that the standard accessories can be attached.
This procedure is identical for both the SS80 and the C90 and are,
therefore, covered together.
The second section is on using your spotting scop)e. Topics include
how to attach the standard accessories, how to locate objects, etc. Here
the manual separates them by model. You need read only the section
for your particular spotter.
The last four sections deal with general information that applies to
both the SS80 and the C90. Topics include visual and photographic
observing hints, astronomical uses for your spotting scope, and
maintenance information. Before you attempt to use your spotting
scope, read this manually carefully, especially the section that pertains
to your spotting scope.
