6. First remove the ring dovetail from your
QHY camera, as here in the example of
the QHY174 with the QHY dry cartridge
attached. To do this, you need a normal,
small Phillips screwdriver (not included in
the scope of delivery). Store the screws
and the ring dovetail carefully. Make sure
that the screws do not fall onto the cover
glass of the chip chamber!
7. Now remove only the arrowed three of
the six screws (1.5 mm spanner size)
on the outermost edge of the camera
housing, as shown in the illustration.
Caution:
Do not remove all six screws,
as this could cause the chip chamber
to leak. However, removing only three
screws at 120° intervals does not reduce
camera tightness.
8. Place the FCCT-QHY-flange
6
in such a
way onto the camera that the filter slider
will later be parallel to the long side of the
camera sensor, when it is pushed into the
FCCT (as indicated with the red lines).
9. Now secure the FCCT-QHY-flange
6
with the three M2 hex screws (
9
in the
scope of delivery on page 4) instead of
the original screws supplied by QHY
which you have removed previously.
