3. Turn the cap over and make sure your camera lens is
centered in the opening in the lens cap. The better you
have this centered, the easier it will be to take images
through the telescope.
4. Take the 20 mm eyepiece and remove the rubber eyecup by
pulling it straight off the eyepiece body. There is an eyecup
retainer built-in to the inside of the lens cap so you don’t lose it.
Just stretch the eyecup around the round retainer and slide the
eyecup all the way to the bottom.
5. Loosen the set screws located on the eyepiece holder on the
inside of the lens cap. Place the black portion of the eyepiece
into the eyepiece holder and tighten the screws to secure the
eyepiece in place.
6. Now take the lens cap with the phone and eyepiece attached
and insert the chrome barrel of the eyepiece into the diagonal
on the back of the telescope’s focuser. Secure it in place by
tightening the set screws on the diagonal.
7. Activate your camera app on your smartphone and adjust the
focus, just as you would the eyepiece, this time using the image
that appears on your screen.
NOTE: Make sure you turn the phone’s fl ash off.
8. When the image appears sharp snap your image.
It is best to try this in the daytime fi rst, then, once everything is setup
correctly, take it outside and try shooting the Moon. Once you have
practiced and are comfortable using the 20 mm eyepiece, try using
the camera adapter with the 10 mm eyepiece for higher magnifi cation.
