Using The Smartphone Adapter:
SUPERVISION BY ADULTS
Read and follow the instructions, safety rules and first aid information
The Smartphone Adapter will allow you to connect almost any “smart” device to a 1.25” eyepiece.
To use the adapter, place it directly onto the selected eyepiece and secure it by tightening the set screw
until snug.
Be careful not to overtighten because this could damage the adapter and/or the eyepiece.
The camera lens on your smart device will need to be centered over the eyepiece. This alignment is best
done by opening the camera function and viewing the image while you center the device. Once you have
positioned the device correctly, carefully press it onto the suction cup/non-skid surface of the adapter
pad. Never allow the adapter pad to hold your device without you supporting the item as well.
The point at which you secure the eyepiece/adapter combination into the diagonal/focuser depends
largely on the dimensions of your device. For smaller devices like smart phones, it may be easier to secure
it to the eyepiece/adapter combination before inserting the entire unit into the diagonal on the telescope.
For larger devices, such as tablets, it may be easier to secure the eyepiece/adapter combination into the
diagonal, and then align and attach your device.
After positioning your device and capturing images, you can enhance and edit the photos using the
imaging software of your choice. One option can be found at https://www.getpaint.net/.
WARNING: Do not leave your device unsupported or unattended on the adapter pad.
Though the surface of the adapter pad is designed with suction cups and is non-skid, the manufacturer
cannot assure that the pad will support the weight of various devices or guarantee that it will adhere to
all surfaces on various smart devices. The pad is not intended to secure, balance or support the device
on its own, and the operator should not let the device rest solely on the adapter pad. Leaving the device
unattended or allowing it to balance on its own without operator support may result in the device falling,
unbalancing the entire instrument and possibly damaging the telescope or your smart device.
