Celestron SS80 User Manual

GETTING STARTED
The high magnification of your spotting scope makes it very difficult
to hand-hold and, as a result, must be attached to a stable platform.
The SS80 and C90 both have a tripod adapter block which is located
on the bottom of the spotting scope tube. Remove your spotting scoj)e
from the box and attach it to any of the mounts described below.
Photographic Tripod
For best results, attach your Celestron spotting scope to a photo¬
graphic tripod like the Celestron Photographic Tripod (#93596). To
attach your spotting scope to the tripod:
1. Hold your spotting scope so that the tripod adapter block is over
the 1/4x20 screw on the tripod head.
2. Thread the 1/4x20 screw on the tripod head into the tripod
adapter block on the spotting scope.
3. Tighten the 1 /4x20 screw fully to ensure the spotting scope does
NOT come loose.
(3nce mounted on the tripod, you are ready to attach the standard
accessories.
Following are descriptions of alternative mounts. The procedure for
attaching your spotting scope to any of these is identical to that of the
photographic tripod.
Mini Tripod
The Celestron Mini Tripod (#93597) is a compact yet stable platform
designed to sit on a flat, level surface for casual viewing. The base of
the Mini Tripod is threaded so it can attach directly to a photographic
tripod as well. This makes it easy to change from the Celestron Mini
Tripod to a photographic tripod.
