BAS – Celestron CPC 9.25 Telescope User Guide
This is a brief guide to setting-up and observing with the Celestron CPC 925 Schmitt Cassegrain
telescope.
The Safety of You and the Telescope
The telescope is very heavy. And, its storage box is very heavy and awkward to lift and place into (or
remove from) vehicles.
BAS strongly recommended any lifting of the telescope and its storage box be performed by two
people. Also, the removal of the telescope from the box and placement on the tripod should only be
attempted by two people.
The storage box has wheels and detachable "wheel barrow" handles for easier movement. Or, the
simple rope handle can be substituted for the wheel barrow handles.

To use the telescope, you will need:
•

Setting Up the telescope
Tripod and attaching the telescope
Place the tripod on firm ground and fully spread the legs. Adjust the length of one, or more, legs if
necessary to level the tripod top. Use the bubble level in the tripod top as the levelling guide.
Ensure the tripod positioning pin is poking up above the top of the tripod (this pin is used to initially
center the telescope on the tripod top).
Before attempting to lift the telescope into place, make sure the optical tube is pointed in the
downward position aiming at the telescope base (where all the electronics attachment sockets are).
