Using the Center and Angle Adjustment Ring
There is a M42/0.75 thread on the QHY8L, which can
connect directly with the telescope. If it needs
adjustment, then the center and angle adjustment
ring should be used.
Center adjustment---- unscrew the three screws
around the ring. The adjustment ring will sets into
the dovetail slot of QHY8L. By adjusting the location
of the three screws, you can achieve about 1mm
center adjustment.
Angle adjustment-----slightly unscrew the three
screws. There is a small screw on the slide side of
the ring, which adjusts the size of inclination angle. If
you rotate QHY8L relative to the adjustment ring,
you can obtain the correct angle.
After finishing the adjustment you should lock up the
three screws.
