A s t ro Fi T E L E SCOPE
1. Lift the bungee straps and slide your smartphone between the
straps and the adapter so that the camera is looking through
the camera opening. The straps should give plenty of tension
to hold the device against the adapter and the black rubberized
surface will give enough friction to prevent the phone from
sliding around.
HINT: Depending on the design of your smartphone, the camera may be in the middle of
the device or in one corner. You may want to change the angle of the bungee straps
to better secure the phone. There are six different anchor points to choose from
around the edge of the adapter. Simply reposition them to different anchor points to
achieve the best results.
2. Turn the adapter 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.
3. Take the 1.25” eyepiece and if necessary remove the rubber
eyecup by pulling it straight off the eyepiece body.
4. Loosen the set screws located on the eyepiece holder on the
inside of the adapter. Place the black portion of the eyepiece
into the eyepiece holder and tighten the screws to secure the
eyepiece in place.
5. Now take the adapter 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.
6. 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 flash off.
7. When the image appears sharp snap your image.
It is best to try this in the daytime first, then, once everything is setup
correctly, take it outside and try shooting the Moon. Once you have
practiced and are comfortable using the 25mm eyepiece, try using
the camera adapter with the 10mm eyepiece for higher magnification.
