assembly

The Celestron CGEM DX mount is shipped in three main boxes.

In separate boxes are the following:

• EquatorialMountwithHandControl,CounterweightBar

and tripod adapter plate included

• Tripod

• Counterweight(s)

Remove all the pieces from their respective boxes and place on

a ﬂat, clear work area. A large ﬂoor space is ideal. When setting

up your Celestron mount you must start with the tripod and

work up from there. These instructions are laid out in the order

each task should be performed.

SEttinG up thE tripoD

The CGEM DX tripod comes with an all metal center leg brace /

accessory tray to give rock solid support to the mount.

The tripod comes fully assembled with a metal plate, called the

tripod head that holds the legs together at the top. In addition,

there is a central rod that extends down from the tripod head

that attaches the accessory tray between the legs. To set up

the tripod:

1. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart until

each leg is fully extended. The tripod will now stand by itself.

Once the tripod is set up, you can adjust the height at which

it stands.

2. Loosen the lever on the leg clamp so that the tripod leg can

be adjusted.

3. Slide the center portion of the tripod leg away from the

tripod head until it is at the desired height.

4. Tighten the levers on each leg clamp to hold the legs

in place.

5. Once that it is fully assembled, rotate the tripod so that one

of the legs is pointing roughly towards north.

attaChinG thE aCCESSory tray

1. Slide the accessory tray over the central rod so that the three

cup indents are pushing against the inside of the tripod legs.

2. Thread the accessory tray knob on to the central rod

and tighten.

To transport your tripod, remove the knob and lower the

accessory tray far enough to rotate it until the three recesses

line up with each leg. Collapse the legs so that each leg falls

into one of the recesses. Secure the legs together with the

nylon strap attached to the tripod leg.

attaChinG thE aziMuth aDjuStMEnt KnobS

To ensure safe shipment of your CGEM mount, the Azimuth

Adjustment Knobs have been removed from the mount and will

need to be attached.

Before securing the mount to the tripod as shown in Fig. 2-4:

1. Locate the Azimuth Adjustment Knobs from the box

containing the CGEM DX mount.

2. Thread one knob into each of the holes located on either

side of the mount.

3. Only thread the knobs about half way in, leaving enough

space for the tripod Alignment Peg which will need to ﬁt

between the screw tips.

attaChinG thE Equatorial Mount

The equatorial mount allows you to tilt the telescope’s axis of

rotation so that you can track the stars as they move across the

sky. The CGEM DX mount is a German equatorial mount that

attaches to the tripod. On one side of the tripod head there

is a metal alignment peg for aligning the mount. This side of

the tripod will face north when setting up for an astronomical

observing session. Before attaching the equatorial head

mount to the tripod, the tripod mounting adapter must ﬁrst be

attached to the tripod:

1. Place the tripod mounting adapter over the top of the

tripod head.

2. Rotate the adapter so that the holes line up with holes along

the side of the tripod head. Make sure the alignment peg is

over the tripod leg that you want to be facing north

when aligning.

3. Secure the mounting adapter to the tripod head using the

three screws and washers provided.

4. Thread the center support rod up through the center of the

tripod mounting adapter until the threads end.

The center support rod should now be captured by the

tripod mounting adapter and is ready to accept the

equatorial mount.
