After a very hot week with temperatures reached to 47C degree! Finally the weather conditions became excellent. Wonderful day it was! When we went to Minara Park in the middle of Erbil city for our SWB3 activity, music was every where inside the park! Thats because French Cultural Center celebrated with World Music Day which it is on June 22 in every year.

Instruction Manual
Models # 52234 & # 52236 C65 Mini Mak Spotting Scope
Congratulations on your purchase of the C65 Mini Mak Celestron spotting scope! Whether your interest is in sports, bird watching, nature, wildlife, hunting, or other activities, these spotting scopes offer the finest optical quality guaranteed to give you years of viewing pleasure. The basic model is # 52234. Model # 52236 has a rubber armored body, is waterproof, and is supplied with an aluminum case. Set Up your Spotting Scope Remove the lens cap covering the Maksutov Correcting Lens by gently pulling it forward. The cap is held in place with a press fit. Setting Up the Table Tripod Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support it for more stability when viewing. To set up the tripod: Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until they come to a stop. Make sure the tripod mounting platform is level by loosening the altitude locking knob and moving the platform to a level position. Then, tighten the knob securely. Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw will thread into the 1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by tightening the screw firmly. You can adjust the central column of the tripod to the height you desire by loosening the central column tightening ring (turn it counterclockwise) with one hand and holding the spotting scope in the other hand. After raising or lowering the central column to where you want it, then tighten firmly the central column tightening ring. You have two slow motion controls one for vertical (up/down) and one for horizontal (left/right) movements. The slow motion controls can be helpful in centering objects, especially at high magnifications.

Optional Tripod For extra steady views or for doing photography, it is recommended that you use a medium/heavy duty photo/video tripod. Using the Rubber Eyecup The zoom eyepiece includes a soft rubber eyecup for eyeglass wearers. Fold down the rubber eyecups to observe the full field of view when wearing eyeglasses. If you do not wear eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecup in the up position. Before Looking Through Your Spotting Scope --- A Word of Caution! Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent eye damage may result. Observing with your Spotting Scope Rotate the zoom eyepiece to the 30x position. Rotate the zoom eyepiece to change the power level of the spotting scope. Refocus as needed. The brightest and widest field of view will always be at the lowest power. Focusing To focus, slowly rotate the focuser knob until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp. Refocusing is usually required if the power is changed. If you feel the focus knob no longer moves any further (in either direction), then you have reached the end of the travel range -- dont try to force it to go further but you should refocus by turning in the opposite direction. Once an image is in focus, turn the knob clockwise to focus on a closer object and counterclockwise for a more distant object. Photography with Digital Cameras You can use your digital camera (and some 35mm SLR cameras) to take photos with your spotting scope. Celestron offers a Universal Digital Camera Adapter (Model # 93626) which makes it easy to attach a digital camera to your C65 Mak spotting scope. Follow your cameras instructions for exposure information, etc. You will have to experiment to get the settings correct. Maintenance To protect your spotting scope when not being used, put on all lens covers and the lens cap to keep the optics clean and then put the scope in the soft carrying case. If your optics need cleaning, use an optics cleaning kit and follow the instructions.
