Guider Layout & Setup
The guider is fairly straightforward and consists of the main
guider body, a pick-out prism, guide camera drawtube, and
removable/rotating T-thread adapter. To assemble your
system, loosen the 3 locking screws that hold the T-thread
adapter in place and remove the adapter from the guider body.
Thread the adapter into the front of your camera adapter (DSLR
T-ring) and firmly tighten. (
You may need to use a spacer ring or
alternate adapter in order for the
guide camera to reach focus; see
specific configurations later).
Re-
attach the adapter and camera to
the guider body. Before tightening
the locking screws adjust the
orientation of the camera so the
detector is “square” with the edge
of the prism. Look through the
guider into the camera to view this
alignment.
