Celestron PowerSeeker-Serie Bedienungsanleitung Seite 6

This section covers the assembly instructions for your PowerSeeker telescope. Your telescope should be set up
indoor the first time so that it is easy to identify the various parts and familiarize yourself with the correct assembly
procedure before attempting it outdoor.
Each PowerSeeker comes in one box. The pieces in the box for all models are – optical tube, altazimuth mount, and
"The SkyX" CD-ROM. The 50AZ includes 0.96" accessories – 20mm eyepiece, 12mm eyepiece, 4mm eyepiece, 3x
Barlow lens, and 1.5x erecting eyepiece.
The 60AZ, 70AZ & 76AZ includes 1.25" accessories – 20mm eyepiece (erect image for 76AZ), 4mm eyepiece,
3x Barlow lens, erect image diagonal for 60AZ.

1. Remove the tripod from the box (Figure 2-1). The tripod comes preassembled so that the set up is very
easy. Each tripod is different for each model but looks somewhat similar to the photos shown below.
2. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until each leg is fully extended and then push down
slightly on the tripod leg brace (Figure 2-2). The very top of the tripod is called the tripod head
(AZ mount).
3. Next, we will install the tripod accessory tray (Figure 2-3) onto the tripod leg brace (center of Figure 2-2).
4. On the bottom of the tripod tray is a screw attached to the center (except the 50AZ). The screw attaches
into a threaded hole in the center of the tripod leg brace by turning it clockwise - note: pull up slightly on
the tripod leg brace to make it easy to attach. Continue turning the tray until hand tight – don't over tighten
the tray. The 50AZ is slightly different as you unthread a small knob in the center of the tray (see Figure
2-3a) and then put the tray over the threaded hole and tighten the knob to secure the tray.

5. The tripod is now completely assembled (Figure 2-4).
6. You can extend the tripod legs to the height you desire. At the lowest level the height is about 27" (69cm)
and extends to about 47" (119cm). You unlock the tripod leg lock knobs at the bottom of each leg
(Figure 2-5) by turning them counterclockwise and pull the legs out to the height you want & then lock the
knobs securely. A fully extended tripod looks similar to the image in Figure 2-6.
7. The tripod will be the most rigid and stable at the lower heights.
