2. Attaching

the imaging

camera to the

Deluxe Off-

Axis Guider

Once you have estimated what the
approximate spacing configuration
should be, you are ready to attach
the Deluxe Off-Axis Guider to your
imaging camera. Simply thread the
imaging camera’s female T-threads
into the back of the Deluxe Off-Axis
Guider (Figure 3). You can optionally
use the rotate lock ring to fix the
orientation of the Deluxe Off-Axis
Guider in relation to the camera.
This can be particularly useful for
DSLRs because the guider’s radial
adjustment sometimes interferes
with the camera body.
