ATTACHING THE STARSENSE CAMERA TO
YOUR TELESCOPE
1. Remove the fi nderscope and bracket from your
telescope tube .
Note: Some optical tubes, like the NexStar SE, may have
a small plastic rail which secures the Star Pointer .

the small or large camera base .
Using a Phillips head
screwdriver, install the

base and secure it with the thumbscrew(s) . The

into the auxiliary port . Then, plug the hand control
into one port and the cable into the other .
