Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase the adapters. A T-ring is made to fit the camera and a T-adapter is made to fit the telescope.

    • 2

      Take off the camera's removable lens and screw the T-ring into its place.

    • 3

      Thread the T-adapter onto the T-ring.

    • 4

      Remove the telescope eyepiece.

    • 5

      Insert the camera, ring and adapter assembly into the telescope eyepiece port and tighten down the thumb screws to secure the assembly in place.

    • 6

      Thread the shutter release into place. A shutter release is not required but it does help keep the camera steady as you shoot.
