Attach the camera to your telescope

The picture below shows a QSI 500 Series camera with 2" nosepiece being fitted to the 2" focusing tube of a refracting telescope. Always use the largest nosepiece that your telescope will allow to minimize any vignetting of your image.

With the correct diameter nosepiece firmly screwed in to the front of the camera, carefully guide the nosepiece into the eyepiece adapter on your telescope. Tighten any retaining screw or screws to ensure the camera is stable and will not slip or move when the orientation of the telescope changes.
