User instructions
1. Choosing an eyepiece
(50065 DCC adapter only)
For best overall image quality and the widest choice of magnifications
at which a full frame image is obtained use any of the following
eyepieces:
HDF T 40810, HDF T 40937
with 50067 insert or
HR 40812
with 50069 in combination with 50068 and 50067 inserts. Depending
on the focal length and objective dia. of your telescope, other suitable
eyepieces may include; HDF T 40862, HDF T 40872, HDF T 40809,
HR2 40933 and HR2 40930.
2. Initial setup
Before connecting everything together, set up your telescope and
eyepiece on a tripod as you would for viewing, making sure your chosen
eyepiece is screwed firmly into position. Focus on an object in the
normal way until the image being viewed comes into sharp focus. Twist-
type eyecups should be in the ‘down’ position and fold down rubber
eyecups should be removed from the eyepiece.
3. Preparing the camera and lens mount
• Loosen the locking ring on the lens mount and slide the mount over
the lens housing on the camera until it fits flush against the front of
the camera body. [Fig. 1]
• Holding the camera and locking ring section of the lens mount in
one hand, turn the main tube of the lens mount clockwise until the
mount is securely tightened. [Fig. 2]
4. Preparing and fitting your chosen adapter
• Assemble the component parts of your chosen adapter as illustrated
on previous page. [Fig. 6]
• Screw the adapter onto the camera lens mount. [Fig. 3]
• The camera is now ready to attach to the viewing eyepiece. [Fig. 4]
5. Fitting the combined assembly to the telescope eyepiece [Fig. 5]
• Place assembly over the eyepiece and push down until the internal wall
of the adapter comes into contact with the end of the eyepiece.
[a]
• Hold the main section of the adapter secure and turn the locking
ring anti-clockwise until tight making sure the camera remains
horizontal.
[b]
• Turn the camera ON, making sure the flash is switched off before
taking photographs. For additional guidance on how to operate the
L1033 please read the instructions supplied with the camera.
Tips for taking pictures
• The L1033 has no conventional viewfinder so images are composed
using the LCD monitor. When the camera is turned on the LCD
monitor will show a single rounded picture of the image you
originally set your scope and eyepiece to. Once this single rounded
picture is obtained you can adjust the camera zoom to eliminate any
vignetting and make any fine focus adjustments using the telescope.
• After presetting Resolution & Quality to the desired values, set Spot
Metering to Centre, AWB to Auto, ISO to 400 and adjust EV
according to the image you see on the screen. The L1033 features
delay timer and burst shutter facility for flexibility in shot selection.
