Start by removing the telescope from its shipping carton and setting the round base on a flat table or surface. It is best to carry the telescope by holding it from the lower portion of the fork arm and from the bottom of the base. Remove all of the accessories from their individual boxes. Remember to save all of the containers so that they can be used to transport the telescope. Before the batteries can be installed, the telescope tube should be positioned horizontal to the ground. To do this, gently rotate the front of the tube upwards until it is level with the ground. Powering the NexStar The NexStar can be powered by eight AA batteries (not included), an optional 12v AC adapter or an optional car battery adapter. The battery compartment is located in the center of the telescope's base (see figure 3- 1).
Figure 3-1: The NexStar can be powered
with 8 AA batteries.
Battery Compartment
To power the NexStar with batteries: 1.
Remove the battery cover from the center of the base by gently lifting up on
the round portion of the cover. 2.
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment of the base.
3.
Reattach the battery compartment door by gently pushing down on the cover
until it snaps into place. 4.
Turn on the power to the NexStar by flipping the switch, located at the base
of the fork arm, to the 'On' position. The Hand Control The hand control is located on the side of the fork arm and can be removed and used remotely or used while attached to the fork. The hand control attaches to the fork arm by resting on two posts, located on the bottom of the hand control cradle, and a clip inside the fork arm. To remove the hand control from the fork arm cradle, gently lift the hand control upwards and pull out. To return the hand control into the fork arm, lower the hand control into the cradle so that the two holes in the bottom of the hand control go over the posts on the bottom of the cradle, and the opening in the back of the hand control slides over the clip inside the fork arm. Once the telescope is powered up, the hand control can be used to move the optical tube in altitude (up and down) and azimuth (side to side). Use the Up arrow directional button to move the telescope tube until it is roughly parallel to the ground. This will make it more convenient to attach the necessary accessories as well as remove the front lens cover and install batteries when they are needed. You are now ready to attach the included visual accessories onto the telescope optical tube. Celestron Nexstar 8se Manual
