The star pointer is powered by a long life 3-volt lithium battery (#CR1620)

It comes with a watch style battery for the site. Dont remember a power supply, that battery should last a very long time.

There was a user manual if it came with it in the box. I also called customer support number . You can also go at there website and download the manual at www.celestron.com. i hope this helps. the microscope is striaght forward but they had to replace a part on mine.

Does anyone know where to find a 12 volt power supply for the Sony A55 DSLR to facilitate the use of the camera with a telescope in remote locations? I have found most everything else on Amazon but may be someone has found one some where else.

Mine works just fine. I don't understand "too good". The mirror is what matters. The telescope has a great mirror for the price. 3X is what I have. I like the zoom lens best. It is the easiest to work with.

I bought no adapter for it.. What do you need an adapter for, exactly? It just runs off batteries, that I know of.

Hi Amy, unfortunately the telescope was a gift so I am unsure of its full capabilities. Perhaps if you contact the manufacturer directly, they may be able to assist you better.

I would recommend maybe one or two higher quality lenses, I purchased the extra lenses as well that came with the moon filter, finderscope and the skyX planetarium software by Celestron. All these have come in handy @ one time or another. The Grandkids are still enjoying the telescope when they come tour place in the country.

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

It's a generic power tank, with 12v, and several USB outputs. If your telescope takes 12v or USB inputs, then it can take it.

Agree with the Powertank. Using regular batteries won't give you an accurate goto. The other accessories you will need are eyepieces. Consider getting one in the 9-11mm range and go from there.

I'm not sure. There are USB output connectors on the PowerTank. If your device has a cable with the telescope connector on one end and USB on the other, it should work. Good luck!

SKK, I'm not sure how to help you??I ordered the telescope for the science teacher at school I've NEVER used the telescope I don't know if the science used it with her students? My suggestion would be call or write the manufacturer. Check your instruction booklet if there's one??I just volunteering at a school and have access to Amazon that teachers don't have, I'm live out side of the US in a poor third world country! Hope you can get your problem answered?

Hi Steven,Wish I could be more helpful, but I have never tried to use a camera with a telescope. I suggest you call Orion and ask forTech Support. The number is (800) 676-1343. Hope you're able to get an answer to your question.Cordially, Joe Romaninsky

I'm sorry, I don't know. What do know is that in the past I have tried a couple of adapters to attach cameras to telescopes and found both totally unsatisfactory. Sorry, I can't be brand-specific - it's been quite a while.

Hi David, I had a similar problem when I ordered one of these off amazon. It arrived without the mount so I had to look for one. turns out, unless you buy the telescope straight from Orion, they will not sell the mount separately. However, if it was bought off of amazon you should be able to send it back. I contacted amazon and they gave me a full refund including shipping and they paid return shipping. Hope this helped =]

no i think the instuructions are wrong, i have two of these and none have the telescope, it has just the CPU exhaust.
