SOLAR WARNING

Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope unless you have the proper solar ﬁlter. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.

Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the telescope and any accessories attached to it.

Never use an eyepiece solar ﬁlter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unﬁltered

sunlight to pass through to the eye.

Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially when children or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating procedures of your telescope are present.

We recommend saving your telescope box so it can be used to store the telescope when it is not in use. Unpack the

box carefully as some parts are small. Use the parts list below to verify that all parts and accessories are present.

PARTS LIST

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

ENGLISH | 3

ASSEMBLING YOUR TELESCOPE

Fig. 4

THE MOUNT

The ExploraScope mount and tripod come fully assembled, so setting it up is easy.

1. Remove the tripod and mount from the box.

2. Loosen the hand knobs at the bottom of each leg and extend the inner section of

the leg to the desired length. Tighten the knobs to secure the legs, being careful

not to over tighten.

3. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until the center brace snaps

into place.

4. Place the threaded post on the bottom of the accessory tray over the hole in the

middle of the leg support bracket and turn the entire tray clockwise until the tray sits ﬁrmly against the leg brace (Fig. 1).

5. Make sure the leg hinge bolts are secure by snugging down the black thumbnuts at the top of each leg.

THE TELESCOPE TUBE

To attach the telescope tube to your tripod and mount:

1. Locate the slow motion rod guide on the side of the U-shaped mount.

Loosen the set screw in the guide until the hole through the guide is

unobstructed.

2. Holding the telescope tube above the mount, slide the slow motion

rod through the guide on the mount and gently lower the hinges

on the sides of the telescope tube into the cradles at the top of the

U-shaped mount (Fig. 2).

3. Tighten the set screw on the guide to hold the telescope

in place

4. Insert the two telescope tube mounting bolts through the tops of

the U-shaped mount and into the hinges on the sides of the telescope

tube. Do not over tighten (Fig. 3).

NOTE: The 70mm refractor is shown, but the 114 mm Newtonian attaches to the mount in the same exact way.

THE STAR DIAGONAL

The star diagonal attaches to the back of a refracting telescope that contains a small mirror that reﬂects the light at a 90°

angle, providing a more comfortable viewing position. It also gives you a 100% correctly oriented image allowing you to

easily use this telescope for daytime terrestrial observing.

1. Remove the caps from both sides of the diagonal.

2. Loosen the setscrews on the back of the focuser and pull out

the small dust cap.

3. Insert the smaller tube on the diagonal into the back of the

focuser and secure it by tightening the setscrews (Fig. 4).

You can rotate the diagonal to any position by loosening the setscrews.

THE EYEPIECES

Your telescope comes with two eyepieces, a low power (20 mm eyepiece) and a higher power eyepiece (4 mm

eyepiece). Whenever you set up your telescope, always start with the 20 mm eyepiece. Once you have your target

centered in the 20 mm eyepiece, you can switch to your higher power 4 mm eyepiece to get a more detailed view.

To install an eyepiece:

1. Loosen the setscrews on the open end of the star diagonal.

2. Insert the silver barrel of the 20 mm eyepiece into the star diagonal

(Fig. 5).

3. Tighten the setscrews to secure the eyepiece

4. To see the sharpest image possible, you need to focus by looking

through the eyepiece and slowly turning the focusing knobs until you

ﬁnd the sharpest image.

THE STARPOINTERTM RED DOT FINDERSCOPE

The ExploraScope comes with a StarPointer ﬁnderscope that you will use as a

sighting tool when aiming the telescope at a target.

To install your StarPointer ﬁnderscope:

1. Remove the two silver nuts from the threaded posts at the top

of the tube, near the focuser.

2. Place the two holes in the base of the ﬁnderscope over the

threaded posts so the ﬁnderscope base sits ﬂush on the

telescope tube. Make sure that the round window on the

ﬁnderscope is pointed toward the end of the telescope that you

will point at your target.

3. Thread the two nuts back onto the threaded posts (Fig. 6)

4. There is a small clear plastic tab inserted between the battery

and the contact. This was included to prevent the battery from discharging

during shipment. Pull this out to allow your battery to work.

CHOOSE A TARGET

Take the telescope outside during the day and ﬁnd an

easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight, car

license plate or sign. The object should be as far away

as possible, but at least a quarter mile away.

CENTER THE TARGET IN THE EYEPIECE

Look through the telescope using your lower powered

eyepiece. Move the telescope until the object you

chose lies in the center of the view. If the image is

blurry, gently turn the focus knobs on either side

of the telescope until it comes into sharp focus.

NOTE: The image in your telescope may appear inverted.

This is perfectly normal in an astronomical telescope.

LOOK THROUGH FINDERSCOPE

Once the object is centered in your 20mm eyepiece,

look through the ﬁnderscope and locate the red dot.

ADJUST THE FINDERSCOPE

Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment

knobs to move the ﬁnder around until the red dot

appears over the same object you are observing in the

telescope’s 20mm eyepiece.

YOUR FINDERSCOPE IS NOW ALIGNED!

It should not require realignment unless it is bumped or

dropped.

ALIGNING THE FINDERSCOPE

The ﬁnder is one of the most important parts of your telescope. It helps you locate objects and center them in the

eyepiece. The ﬁrst time you assemble your telescope, you need to align the ﬁnder to the telescope’s main optics. It’s best

to do this during the day*.

*SOLAR WARNING! Never attempt to view the Sun through any telescope without a proper solar ﬁlter!

6 | ENGLISH

Look through the ﬁnderscope and locate the crosshair

reticle. Continue moving the telescope until the crosshair

appears over the Moon.

Look through the telescope’s 20mm eyepiece. Gently turn

the focus knobs to adjust the sharpness of the image.

CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU HAVE NOW OBSERVED YOUR

FIRST CELESTIAL OBJECT!

To get a closer view of the Moon, loosen the set screws

on the focuser and remove the 20mm eyepiece. Replace

it with your 4mm eyepiece and tighten the set screws

to secure it in place. The 4mm eyepiece will give you

signiﬁcantly more magniﬁcation, making the Moon appear

much larger.

NOTE:You may need to adjust the focus knobs when

you change eyepieces, so make sure you are getting the

sharpest image possible.

20mm

You can view many other celestial objects, such as

planets, star clusters and nebulae using this same

technique if you know where to ﬁnd them in the

night sky.

Celestron’s free SkyPortal app for iOS and Android can

help you locate and identify a wide array of celestial objects

quickly and easily.

With the Moon visible in the sky, set up your telescope with

the 20mm eyepiece installed. Move the telescope so that it

is roughly pointing toward the Moon.

YOUR FIRST ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVING SESSION

The best and easiest target for you to try to view ﬁrst is the Moon. Try observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle.

The best time to view the Moon is from two days after a New Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period,

you will be able to see the most detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges.

BATTERY ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS

The StarPointer finderscope is powered by a long life 3V lithium battery (#CR2032) located directly under the StarPointer’s front end.

To access the battery compartment, use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screw and lift up the battery cover. When replacing the battery, make sure to install the new battery with

its positive terminal (+) facing outward. If the telescope will not be in use for a long period of time, it is recommended to remove the battery from the StarPointer.

WARNING: KEEP BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.

• Do not use if compartment is not secure.

• Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.

• Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.

SOLAR WARNING

• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a telescope unless you have the proper solar ﬁlter. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.

• Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the telescope and any accessories attached to it.

• Never use an eyepiece solar ﬁlter or a Herschel wedge. Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these devices to crack or break, allowing unﬁltered sunlight to pass through to the eye.

• Do not leave the telescope unsupervised, especially when children or adults unfamiliar with the correct operating procedures of your telescope are present.

AVERTISSEMENT AU SUJET DES RAYONS DU SOLEIL

Ne regardez jamais directement le soleil à l’œil nu ou avec un télescope à moins d’avoir un ﬁltre solaire adéquat. Cela pourrait entraîner des lésions oculaires permanentes et

irréversibles.

N’utilisez jamais votre télescope pour projeter une image du soleil sur une surface quelconque. Une accumulation de chaleur interne pourrait endommager le télescope et tout

accessoire qui s’y rattache.

N’utilisez jamais un ﬁltre solaire oculaire ou un prisme (hélioscope) de Herschel. Une accumulation de chaleur à l’intérieur du télescope peut endommager ces dispositifs, laissant

alors la lumière non ﬁltrée du soleil atteindre les yeux.

Ne laissez pas le télescope sans surveillance en présence d’enfants ou d’adultes qui ne sont pas familiarisés avec les procédures pour le faire fonctionner correctement.
