Using the Center and Angle Adjustment Ring
There is a M42/0.75 thread on the QHY10/12, 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 QHY10/12. By adjusting the
location of the three screws, you can achieve about
1mm center adjustment.
Angle adjustment-----slightly unscrew the three
screws. There is small screw on the slide side of the
ring, which adjusts the size of inclination angle. If you
rotate QHY10/12 relative to the adjustment ring, you
can obtain the correct angle.
After finishing the adjustment you should lock up the
three screws.
