TIPS: How to Change the Camera Orientation?
1. Release the camera counterclockwise and
adjust it to the proper direction.
2. Rotate the knurled lock ring counterclockwise
to make it fit the camera tightly.
Using the 1.25" nose
piece:
If your telescope features a 1.25" focuser or adapter, the easiest way to attach the Imaging Flip Mirror is by using the included 1.25" nosepiece.
Using T-thre
ads:
Some telescopes feature focus adapters with exterior T-threads. Remove the 1.25" nosepiece. Then carefully attach the flip mirror body to the T-threads.
Connection with Cameras
For CCD cameras:
Most commercial CCD cameras have accessible T-threads.
Remove the nosepiece of your CCD camera to reveal the T-threads.
Attach the camera body to the flip mirror body by rotating the camera clockwise until tight.
For other cameras:
To connect with the camera, just add a T-ring to the original installation.
Connection with Eyepieces
The Imaging Flip Mirror should reach focus with nearly all 1.25" eyepieces. Simply insert your eyepiece into the 1.25" eyepiece holder and secure it with the eyepiece holder thumbscrew.
Please note that this Asin already includes 1.25" eyepiece adapter, thus you don't need to purchase it again.
In astrophotography, if you want to take successful astronomy photographs, accurate focusing is only one half of the story.
The Astromania flip mirror makes it very simple to find both the exact focus point and also the correct positioning for your astronomy photographs.
This small black box has a moveable flip mirror which shunts the light path 90°upwards or, alternatively, lets it pass through unhindered.
If you tilt the mirror to the 45° position, the object will then appear in the eyepiece and you will be able to precisely focus it as usual.
The helical focuser on the flip mirror lets you make the eyepiece and camera exactly parfocal with each other.
This means that both elements will be in focus at the same time.
An object that is accurately centred in the eyepiece will be simultaneously centred in the camera's field of view.
You no longer have to worry about whether the object is correctly positioned on the chip - you know it will be.
- An advantage with all cameras:
No finder is provided with popular webcams or astronomical CCD cameras for helping position the object on the chip.
Only by taking test exposures is it possible to achieve both sharp focus and the correct object position.
The flip mirror is a big help here as the object has already been centred and focused 'remotely' on the chip via the eyepiece.
The Astromania flip mirror has a 1.25" connector which will fit onto any standard telescope.
The helical focuser will accept any standard 1.25" eyepiece.
There is a T-2 thread provided on the camera side - the standard fitting for all cameras.
