1. Do not point the telescope at the sun yet. First put a light-proof cover in front of all
optics that are not used ( nder, guide scopes etc).
2. If necessary, install the D-ERF energy protection lter in front of the telescope.
3. Remove the dust cap from the 1¼" socket of the SunDancer II.
Caution: If you use a 2" eyepiece clamp and point the SunDancer II at the sun with
the 1¼" dust cap still on, the plastic will evaporate and may deposit on the optics
of the telescope or on the blocking lter and destroy them!
4. Place the SunDancer II in the eyepiece clamp or the star diagonal (1¼" or 2") of
the telescope and secure it.
5. Connect the temperature control box to the SunDancer II via the 8-pin plug con-
nection.
6. Connect the temperature control box to the 12V power supply or an optional bat-
tery pack. Note the correct polarity: the positive pole is on the inside (tip positive).
The supplied power cable and that of the Celestron LiFePO
correctly polarised and not interchangeable.
7. Pay attention to the cable management: make sure that nobody can get caught
on the cables and that the cables are not be under tension when the telescope
moves. You can store the power supply unit and control box in the supplied yellow
utility bag shown on page 13. Attach the bag to the mount in such a way that the
cables cannot interfere or come under tension. The optional Celestron PowerTank
can be connected to the tripod legs so that it does not interfere. The control box
should not be in direct sunlight.
