Telescope-Adapter B
Locking Ring
Changing the mounting adapters A and B
In the standard configuration, both 1¼" and 2" nosepieces are mounted at the eyepiece
main body, including dustcaps. Remove both dust caps before using the eyepiece for
the first time. This way you can use it at telescopes with 2" eyepiece clamp.
For telescopes or spotters with 1¼" clamp, it is necessary to reconfigure the eyepiece
as shown below. Reconfiguring the eyepiece is always
done according to the following scheme:
1.
Removing the 2" nosepiece
1
:
Hold the eyepiece at the locking ring
3
, which also
has a 2" female thread inside, and unthread the
nosepiece counterclockwise. Now you can access
the 1¼" nosepiece, the female 2" SC-thread and the
adapterring B (for telescopes). This way, you can use
the eyepiece e.g. at telescopes with 1¼" eyepiece
holder or at telescopes,
prisms and mirrors with male
2"-SC-thread.
2.
Removing the 1¼" nosepiece
2
:
Remove the nosepiece by rotating it counterclock-
wise. Now you can see the 1

/

" thread of the tele-
scope-adapter B
4
(or of the spotting-scope-adapter
A), and you can screw the eyepiece directly onto
many smaller spotting scopes (e.g. Celestron Ultima,
Skywatcher).
3.
Replacing the adapterring for telescopes (B)
4
or spotting scopes (A)
5
:
Completely unscrew the knurled 2" locking ring
3
from the bottom end of the eyepiece and replace the
pre-mounted ring "B" (for instance) against the other
supplied ring "A" or vice versa. Always orient the rings
in a way that you can see the engravement. Now
thread the knurled locking ring back onto the eyepiece
to fix the adapterring in its place. Do not use force.
The 1¼" nosepiece fits onto both of the adapter-rings („A“ and „B“).
