The Firstscope AZ is a refractor telescope offered on an Altazimuth mount.
The C102-AZ is similar to the Firstscope AZ and all text referred to in this
manual on the Firstscope AZ applies equally to the C102-AZ. The telescope is
shipped in one box which contains the optical tube, altazimuth mount and all
the standard accessories, which include:
• 25mm SMA Ocular 1-1/4" (36x) - with 70mm and 80mm models
• 6mm F Ocular 1-1/4" (150x) - with 70mm only
• 20mm Plossl Ocular 1-1/4" (50x) - with 102mm only
• 6x30 Finderscope (for the 80mm and 102mm); 5x24 (for the 70mm)
• 45° Erect Image Diagonal 1-1/4"
• Slow Motion Controls
• Adjustable Wood Tripod (some models have an aluminum tripod)
Use the accompanying diagram (on page 3) to identify the various parts of your
telescope for assembly and ongoing use.
When setting up the telescope, find a large, clear area where the parts can be
laid out. Remove the contents of the box and place them neatly on your work
surface. Once your refractor has been unpacked and assembled, you will not
need the boxes for everyday storage and transportation. However, you should
save the box in case you need to ship your telescope via a common carrier.
To begin setting up your Firstscope AZ, start with the tripod and work up from
there.
Locate the Altazimuth mount and the tripod legs along with the tripod mounting
hardware and the tripod accessory tray.
1. Lie the tripod head on its side. Attach the three tripod legs one by one on
the tripod head with the bolts and wing nuts. Do not overtighten the bolts but
just make them finger tight. Remember to have each tripod leg in the right
orientation with the tripod tray bracket facing inward.
2. Now set the tripod with the Altazimuth mount attached in the standing
position by speading the legs apart far enough for the tripod accessory tray to
fit.
3. You are now ready to install the tripod accessory tray. The tripod tray
bracket fits into the holes in the bottom of the tray (use the slots on the end of
the brackets). Use the bolts and wing nuts to attach each bracket to the tray.
4. Tighten all bolts and wing nuts to ensure proper stability.
If your model has the Aluminum Tripod:
1. Attach the legs to the tripod head as above.
2. Spread the legs apart.

3. Attach the accessory tray to the leg braces.
With the tripod set up, you can adjust the height of the tripod. To do this:
1. Loosen the wing nuts on the lower portion of the tripod leg.
2. Slide the center slat of the leg away from the tripod head until at the
desired height.
3. Tighten the wing nut (completely) to hold the leg firmly in place. A wrench
is provided to hold the bolt in place while you are turning the wing nut.
Repeat this process for each tripod leg.

Motion Control Knobs
Figure 2-2
This illustration shows the
correct orientation of the
metal sleeve relative to the
slow motion shaft.
3. Tighten the set screws to hold the slow motion control cables in place.
The optical tube is held to the mount with two mounting rings. On the bottom
of the mounting rings are square extrusions —one on each ring. This portion
of the ring slides over part of the mounting platform to hold the telescope in
place.
1. Slightly loosen the screws that hold the mounting rings on the telescope in
place.
2. Slide the rings apart so that each is toward a different end of the tele-
scope. Ideally, the mounting rings should be slightly farther apart than the
length of the mounting platform.
Attaching the Telescope
to the Mount
You are ready to attach the slow motion control knobs.
1. Retract the set screw on the metal sleeve of the slow motion control knobs
until it no longer extends into the inner diameter. The metal sleeve is on
the opposite end of the cable from the slow motion knob.
2. Slide the end of the metal sleeve over one of the two shafts protruding
from the mount. Make sure that the set screw on the metal sleeve is over
the flat part of the shaft (see figure 2-2).
The shaft on the right side of the telescope platform controls altitude
adjustments while the one on the left controls azimuth adjustments (see
figure 2-3).
Figure 2-3

3. Place the telescope tube on the mount and orient it so that the objective
lens is opposite the slow motion control handles.
4. Slide the rings together until the square extrusions fit over the ends of the
mounting platform.
5. Tighten the bolt on the square extrusion on the ring closest to the objective
lens to hold the telescope to the mount (C). This knob is on the opposite
side of the mounting ring from the hand tightening knob.
6. Tighten the screws that hold the mounting rings in place (A and B). This
will keep the telescope from sliding back and forth in the mounting rings.
Figure 2-4
Orient the altazimuth mount so that it is parallel to the ground while
mounting the telescope tube.
The Altazimuth mount can be moved in two directions; vertically, which is
called altitude and horizontally, which is called azimuth.
Altitude
•For major directional changes in altitude, hold the end of the telescope
tube and move the telescope to the desired orientation.
•For fine adjustments in altitude, turn the slow motion control knob on the
right side of the mount. Turning the knob clockwise lowers the angle at
which the telescope is aiming while turning it counterclockwise raises the
angle at which the telescope is aiming.
Azimuth
•For major directional changes in azimuth, loosen the azimuth tension knob
on the right side of the mount. (This knob is already attached to the mount
and does NOT need to be installed.) Once loose, point the telescope to
the desired area and tighten the azimuth tension knob.

•For fine adjustments in azimuth, turn the slow motion control knob on the
left side of the mount. Turning the knob clockwise moves the telescope to
the right while turning it counterclockwise moves the telescope to the left.
NOTE: The azimuth slow motion knob will NOT work while the azimuth tension knob
is loose. The azimuth tension knob must be fully tightened before you can use
the azimuth slow motion control knob.
Once assembled, the telescope can be left set up. The entire unit is light
enough to pick up and carry outside for a casual observing session. If, how-
ever, you want to transport your Firstscope AZ to a remote observing location,
you should partially disassemble your telescope for easy transportation.
1. Remove the optical tube from the altazimuth mount. Wrap the tube in
cloth to prevent it from being scratched or dented. Perform the steps for
attaching the telescope in reverse order.
2. Fold the tripod legs together. The mount does NOT have to be removed if
you are transporting the telescope yourself.
You are now ready to transport the telescope to your observing site.
If you are shipping the telescope via a common carrier, you should completely
disassemble the telescope and return all parts to the original shipping con-
tainer.

TELESCOPE BASICS
Once your telescope has been fully assembled, you are ready to attach the
accessories.
The Accessory Adapter
The accessory adapter is the short black tube with the set screw that allows
the attachment of visual accessories (i.e., the star diagonal, erect image
diagonal, eyepieces, etc.). The accessory adapter comes attached to the
focustubeandisremovedonlywhenattachingphotographicaccessories.
Erect Image Diagonal
The erect image diagonal is a prism that diverts the light at a 45° angle to the
light path of the telescope. In addition to placing the eyepiece in physically
comfortableviewingpositions,thisaccessoryalsoprovidescorrectlyoriented
images. To attach the erect image diagonal:
1. Loosen the thumbscrew on the accessory adapter until it no longer
obstructsthe inner diameter.
2. Slide the chrome portion of the erect image diagonal into the accessory
adapter.
3. Tightenthe thumbscrew on theaccessory adapter tohold the diagonal in
place.
If you wish to change the orientation to the erect image diagonal, loosen the
thumbscrewon theaccessory adapteruntil thediagonal rotatesfreely. Move
thediagonal to thedesired position andtighten the thumbscrew.
The Eyepieces
The eyepiece, or ocular, is an optical element that magnifies the image
focused by the telescope. The eyepiece(s) fit into either the accessory
adapter directly or into the erect image diagonal. To install an ocular:
1. Loosen the set screw on the erect image diagonal so that it does not
obstructtheinnerdiameter.
2. Slide the chrome portion of the eyepiece into the diagonal.
3. Tighten the set screw.
Toremovetheocular:
1. Loosen the set screw on the diagonal.
2. Slide the eyepiece out of the diagonal.
You can replace it with another ocular.

Eyepieces are commonly referred to by focal length, which is printed on the
eyepiecebarrel. The longerthefocal length(i.e., thelarger the number)the
lower the power. Conversely, the shorter the focal length (i.e., the smaller the
number)the higherthe magnification. Generally,you will use low to moderate
powerwhenviewing. Formoreinformationonhowtodeterminepower,seethe
sectionon“CalculatingMagnification.”
Inaddition,eyepiecesarealsoreferredtoby barrel diameter. These Celestron
refractorsuseeyepieceswith a barreldiameterof1-1/4".
To focus your telescope, simply turn either of the focus knobs located directly
opposite the finderscope. Turn the focus knob until the image is sharp. Once
sharp, turn the knob towards you to focus on an object that is closer than the
one you are currently observing. Turn the knob away from you to focus on a
moredistant objectthan the oneyou arecurrently observing.
Inadditionto understanding howthefocusing mechanism works,thereare a
fewfocusing hintsto rememberwhen usingany opticalinstrument.
• Avoid looking through glass. Glass found in household windows is optically
imperfect, and as a result, may vary in thickness from one part of a window
to the next. This inconsistency can and will affect the ability to focus your
telescope. In most cases, you will not be able to achieve a truly sharp
focus. In some cases, you may actually see a double image.
• Never lookacrossoroverobjectsproducingheatwaves. Thisincludes
asphalt parking lots on hot summer days or building rooftops.
• Hazy skies, fog, and mist can also make it difficult to focus when viewing
terrestrially. The amount of detail that can be seen under these conditions
willbegreatly reduced. Also,whenphotographing undertheseconditions,
the processed film may come out a little grainier than normal.
• When using your telescope as a telephoto lens, the split screen or micro-
prism focuser of the 35mm camera may “black out.” This is common with
all long focal length lenses. If this happens, use the ground glass portion of
yourfocusing screen. To achieve a verysharp focus,you may consider
usingafocusingmagnifier. Thesearereadilyavailablefromyourlocal
camerastore.
• Ifyou wearcorrective lenses(specifically glasses), youmay wantto remove
themwhenobservingwithaneyepieceattachedtothetelescope. However,
whenusing acamera, youshould always wearcorrective lensesto ensure
the sharpest possible focus. If you have astigmatism, corrective lenses
must be worn at all times.
Accurate alignment of the finder makes it easy to find objects with the tele-
scope, especially celestial objects. To make aligning the finder as easy as
possible, this procedure should be done in the daytime when it is easy to find
and identify objects. To align the finder:
1. Choose a target that is in excess of one mile away. This will eliminate any
parallaxeffectbetweenthetelescopeandfinder.
2. Point the telescope at your target and center it in the main optics of the
telescope. You may have to move the telescope slightly to center your
target.

3. Adjust the screws on the finder bracket, tightening one while loosening
another,until the crosshairsare centered on the targetseen through the
telescope.
Imageorientationthroughthefinderisinverted(i.e.,upsidedownandreversed
fromleft-to-right). This is normalfor anyfinderscope that isused straight-
through. Because of this, it may take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with
thedirectional changeeach screw hason thefinderscope.
You can change the power of your Celestron telescope just by changing the
eyepiece(ocular). Todeterminetheactualmagnification withanygiven
eyepiece, simply divide the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of
the eyepiece. In equation format, the formula looks like this:
FocalLengthofTelescope(mm)
Magnification= Focal LengthofEyepiece(mm)
Let's take an example (using the 80mm AZ) to see how this formula works.
Let'ssayyou'reobserving witha25mmeyepiece. To determine themagnifica-
tion, you would simply divide the focal length of the telescope (910mm) by the
focal length of the eyepiece. Since we are using a 25mm eyepiece for our
example, you would divide 910 by 25. This yields a magnification of 36 power.
Although the power is variable, each instrument has a limit to the highest
usefulmagnification. Thegeneral rule isthat60power canbeusedfor every
inch of aperture. For example, the Firstscope 80 AZ is 3.14" (80mm) in
diameter. Multiplying 3.14" by 60 gives a maximum useful magnification of 188
power. Although this is the maximum useful magnification, most observing is
donein therange of10 to30 powerfor everyinch of aperture which is about 30
to 100 power for the Firstscope 80 AZ.
Higherpowers (more than60x thediameter)can beusedfor lookingat super
enlarged images of the planets and the moon, but the images will be dark with
little contrast, and somewhat fuzzy.
With the telescope fully assembled and all the accessories attached, you are
ready for your first look. Your first look should be done in the daytime when it
will be easier to locate the locking clamps and adjustment knobs. This will
help to familiarize you with your telescope, thus making it easier to use at
night.
Daytime Observing
1. Find a distant object that is fairly bright.
2. Insertthe standardeyepieceintothediagonal.
3. Locate the object in the finderscope.
4. Use the slow motion knobs to center the object in the field of the finder.
5. Look through the main optics and the object will be there (if you aligned
thefinderfirst).

Althoughoverlookedbymanyamateurastronomers,solarobservationisboth
rewardingandfun. However, becausetheSunis sobright,specialprecautions
must be taken when observing our star so as not to damage your eyes or your
telescope.
WARNING! Never project an image of the Sun through the telescope. Tremendous
heat build-up near the back of the telescope can damage any accesso-
ries attached to the telescope.
Use a Celestron mylar solar filter to view the Sun in complete safety. These
filters reduce the intensity of the Sun’s light making it safe to view. With these
filters you can see sunspots as they move across the solar disk and faculae,
which are bright patches seen near the Sun’s edge. Be sure to cover the
lens of the finder when observing the Sun. This will ensure that the
finder is not damaged and that no one looks through it accidentally.
In the night sky, the Moon is a prime target for your first look because it is
extremely bright. Often, it is a temptation to look at the Moon when it is full.
At this time, the face we see is fully illuminated and its light can be overpower-
ing. In addition, little or no contrast can be seen at this time.
One of the best times to observe the Moon is during its partial phases (around
thetime offirst orthird quarter). Longshadows reveala greatamount ofdetail
on the lunar surface. At low power you will be able to see the entire lunar disk
at one time. Change to higher power (magnification) to focus in on a smaller
area. Keep in mind that the rotation of the Earth will cause the Moon to drift
out of your field of view. You will have to manually adjust the telescope to keep
the Moon centered. This effect is more noticeable at higher power. Consult
yourlocalnewspaper orcurrentastronomy magazinetofind out whenthe
Moonisvisible.
This same method can be used to observe the planets. You can see Venus
go through its lunar-like phases. Mars will reveal a host of surface detail and
one, if not both, of its polar caps. You will be able to see the cloud belts of
Jupiter and the great Red Spot. In addition, you will also be able to see the
Moons of Jupiter as they orbit this gas giant. Saturn with its beautiful rings is
easily visible at moderate power. All you need to know is where to look. Most
astronomy publications tell where the planets can be found in the sky each
month.
Deep-sky objects are simply those objects outside the boundaries of our solar
system. Theyinclude star clusters, planetary nebulae,diffuse nebulae,double
stars and other galaxies outside our own Milky Way. The Celestron Sky Maps
(#93722) can help you locate the brightest deep-sky objects. You can “star
hop” to an object from an area with which you are familiar.

Mostdeep-skyobjectshavealargeangularsize. Therefore,low-to-moderate
power is all you need to see them. Visually, they are too faint to reveal any
color. Instead, they have a black and white appearance. And, because of their
low surface brightness, they should be observed from a dark sky location.

and stars from light polluted areas or when the Moon is out.
YourCelestroncanbeusedforbothterrestrialandastronomicalphotography.
Celestrontelescopeshave fixedaperturesand, as aresult,fixed
f/ratios. To properly expose your subjects photographically you need to set
yourshutterspeedaccordingly. Most35mmcamerasofferthrough-the-lens
metering which will let you know if your picture will be under or over exposed.
Thisismoreofaconsiderationwhendoingterrestrialphotographywhere
exposuretimesaremeasuredin hundredthsofasecond. Inastrophotography,
the exposures are much longer requiring that you use the “B” setting on your
camera. The actual exposure time is determined by how long you keep the
shutteropen.
Toreducevibrationwhentripping the shutter,useacablerelease. Releasing
theshuttermanually can causevibration,something thatcanproduceunsharp
photos. A cable release will keep your hands clear of the camera and tele-
scope, thus eliminating the possibility of introducing vibration. Mechanical
shutter releases can be used, though air type releases are best.
Inaddition, remember thefocusing hints describedearlier inthismanual.
After looking at the night sky for a while you may want to try photographing it.
If you do, start with a nice, bright object like the Moon.
Loadyour camera with film thathas amoderate-to-fast speed (i.e., ISO rating).
Faster films are more desirable when the Moon is a crescent. When the Moon
is full, and at its brightest, slower films are more desirable. If photographing
during the full phase, use a yellow filter to reduce the light intensity and to
increase contrast. To attach your camera to the F80 AZ or C102-AZ, you will
needtheCelestronT-Adapter(#93634-A)andtheT-Ringforyourspecific
camera. On the F70 AZ, the T-Adapter is built in and you only need the T-Ring
to attach your camera.
Consultthe Celestronaccessory catalog for a listof recommendedexposure
times. These exposure times should be used as a starting point. Always
makeexposures that arelonger and shorterthan the recommendedtime.
Also, try bracketing your exposures. Take a few photos at each shutter
speed. This will ensure that you will get a good photo.
Keep accurate records of your exposures. This information is useful if you
want to repeat your results or submit them for possible publication in astro-
nomicalmagazines!

TELESCOPE MAINTENANCE
Refractorsaregenerallyverylowmaintenance telescopes. Cleaningisreally
all that is needed, and even that is minimal if the telescope is stored properly.
Occasionally, dust and/or moisture may build up on the objective lens of your
telescope. Special care should be taken when cleaning any instrument so as
not to damage the optics. If dust has built up on the objective lens, remove
dust with a camel’s hair brush or a can of pressurized air. Spray at an angle to
the lens for approximately 2 to 4 seconds. Then, use optical cleaning solution
andwhite tissue paperto remove anyremaining debris. Strokes should go
from the center of the objective lens to the outer portion. Do NOT rub in
circles! With refractive lenses, never apply the cleaning solution directly to the
lens. Because the elements are air-spaced, excess solution may seep
between the lenses. Apply the solution to the tissue, then the tissue to the
lens.
You can use commercially made lens cleaner or mix your own. A good
cleaning solution is isopropyl alcohol mixed with distilled water. The solution
should be 60% isopropyl alcohol and 40% distilled water. Or, liquid dish soap
dilutedwith water(a coupleof dropsper onequart ofwater) canbe used.
Occasionally,you mayexperience dew build-up on theobjective lensof your
telescopeduringan observing session. Thismaybe removedwithahair dryer
or by pointing the telescope at the ground. Since your Celestron refractor has
a built-in dew cap, the dewing process is slightly reduced. If moisture con-
denses on the inside of the lens, remove the accessories from the telescope.
Place the telescope in a dust-free environment and point it down. This will
removethemoisturefromthetelescopetube.
To minimize the need to clean your telescope, replace all lens covers once you
have finished using it. Since the back of the telescope where the accessories
attach is NOT sealed, the plastic cap should be placed over the opening when
notin use. Thiswill preventcontaminates from enteringthe opticaltube.
When not in use, your Firstscope AZ can be left fully assembled and set up.
However, all lens and eyepiece covers should be put back in place. This will
reducethe amount of dust build-upon the optical surfaces andreduce the
numbers of times you need to clean the instrument. You may want to return
everthing to its original shipping container and store them there. If this is the
case, all optical surfaces should still be covered to prevent dust build-up.
