Attaching The Telescope Tube To The Tripod; Moving The Travel Scope Manually - Celestron ROYAL OBSERVATORY GREENWICH TRAVEL SCOPE 70 Instruction Manual

ATTACHING THE TELESCOPE TUBE TO THE TRIPOD

Before you attach the telescope tube, ensure that the all of the knobs on the tripod are locked and secure.
1. Remove the protective paper covering the optical tube.
2. Loosen the tripod platform knob (Fig. 7) by turning it counterclockwise.
Tilt the tripod platform up 90° as shown in Fig. 8. Tighten the knob to
secure the platform in place.
3. Under the center of the tripod platform, you will see a knob
(Fig. 9) that contains a 1/4"x20 screw. Insert the screw into one
of the threaded holes on the telescope tube's mounting bracket. (It
doesn't matter which hole you use.)
4. Hold the telescope tube with one hand and thread the screw into the
mounting bracket with the other hand. Now the assembly will look
like Fig. 10.
5. Loosen the tripod platform knob and lower the platform (with
telescope attached) to the level position. Tighten the knob to secure.

MOVING THE TRAVEL SCOPE MANUALLY

The Travel Scope is easy to move in any direction. To tilt the telescope up or down, use the Pan Handle Control Knob
(Fig. 1, #11). To pan the telescope side to side, use the Azimuth Locking Knob (top left knob in Fig. 7). Loosen the knobs
by turning them counterclockwise and tighten them by turning them clockwise.
