16 • The G-8N

The entire telescope and mount is light enough to pick up and carry outside for

a casual observing session. If, however, you want to transport your G-8N to a

remote observing location, you must partially disassemble it. Here’s how:

1. Remove the telescope from the equatorial mount. Return it to the shipping

carton to ensure safe transportation.

2. Remove the three wing bolts that hold the accessory tray to the tripod.

3. Pull the accessory tray off the bracket.

4. Thread the wing bolts back onto the accessory tray once they are removed

from the bracket. This will eliminate the possibility of losing them.

5. Fold the tripod legs together and you are ready to transport your G-8N

telescope.

The equatorial mount does NOT have to be removed if you are transporting

the telescope yourself. However, you may want to remove the counterweight

from the counterweight bar to lighten the mount.

If you are shipping the telescope via a common carrier, you should completely

disassemble the telescope and return all parts to their original shipping

container.

When not in use, your Celestron G-8N can be left fully assembled and set up.

However, all lens and eyepiece covers should be put back in place. The

opening to the focuser must also be covered. This will reduce the amount of

dust build-up on the optical surfaces and reduce the number of times you need

to clean the instrument. You may want to return everything to its original

shipping container and store all the parts there. If this is the case, all optical

surfaces should still be covered to prevent dust build-up.

Now that you have completed assembling your G-8N, you are ready to begin

attaching the accessories.
