Congratulations on your purchase of the Celestron CGEM DX

Series Mount! The CGEM DX series continues in Celestron’s

proud tradition combining large aperture optics with the

sophistication and ease of use of our computerized

GoTo mount.

If you are new to astronomy, you may wish to start off by using

the built-in Sky Tour feature, which commands the mount to

ﬁnd the most interesting objects in the sky and automatically

slews to each one. Or if you are an experienced amateur, you

will appreciate the comprehensive database of over 40,000

objects, including customized lists of all the best deep-sky

objects, bright double stars and variable stars. No matter your

level of experience, the CGEM DX mount telescopes will unfold

for you and your friends all the wonders of the Universe.

Take time to read through this manual before embarking on

your journey through the Universe. It may take a few observing

sessions to become familiar with your mount, so you should

keep this manual handy until you have fully mastered your

telescope’s operation. The hand control has built-in instructions

to guide you through all the alignment procedures needed to

have the telescope up and running in minutes. Use this manual

in conjunction with the on-screen instructions provided by the

hand control. The manual gives detailed information regarding

each step as well as needed reference material and helpful hints

guaranteed to make your observing experience as simple and

pleasurable as possible.

The CGEM DX mount is designed to give you years of fun

and rewarding observations. However, there are a few things

to consider before using your telescope that will ensure your
