Celestron NexStar HC Instruction Manual page 38

Tripod, NexStar - A stable tripod is a must for serious astronomical
observing and photography. This steel field tripod (#93497) folds down to a
compact 8"x28". It is equipped with a built on wedge tilt plate for quick
equatorial use and astrophotography. It has a metal center brace and accessory
tray for added stability.
Vibration Suppression Pads (#93503) - These pads rest between the ground
and tripod feet of your telescope. They reduce the amplitude and vibration
time of your telescope when shaken by the wind or an accidental bump. This
accessory is a must for long exposure prime focus photography.
A full description of all Celestron accessories can be found in the Celestron Accessory Catalog (#93685).
