Instructions

1. Find the eyepiece of your telescope. Locate the T-threads on the eyepiece holder.

Tips & Warnings

• Find out if the refractor has a design such that a diagonal needs to be attached. If that is the case, then the focal length needs to be extended.
• Loosen and tighten the screws only in daytime and where you have enough space. This will ensure that you don’t loose any of the screws.
• Do not touch or clean the optical surface unless you are familiar with its correct treatment. Use special lens cleaning paper for the lens.
• Do not touch any optical surface while attaching the camera adapter tube.
