User manual ORION TELESCOPES & BINOCULARS REVB IMAGING EYEPIE

[. . . ] Monochrome Electronic Imaging Eyepiece #8635 Thank you for your purchase of an Orion Electronic Imaging Eyepiece. The electronic imaging eyepiece will give you an opportunity to record and share your astronomical viewing experiences. It can also be used for classroom or telescope demonstrations where not everyone can get to the telescope's eyepiece for viewing. [. . . ] The power jack is tip positive, so attach your DC cable plug accordingly. Then insert the other end of the cable to the DC outlet of the field battery. Connecting to a TV or VCR Plug one end of the RCA cable (Figure 1) into the output jack of the eyepiece. Then plug the other end of the RCA cable into the "VIDEO IN" jack on your television or VCR. Consult your TV or VCR's manual for the location and operation of this jack. Operating the Electronic Imaging Eyepiece For simplest operation, aim and focus the telescope at the object you wish to view using a regular telescope eyepiece. Take the dust cap off of the electronic imaging eyepiece and insert the barrel of the electronic imaging eyepiece into the telescope's focuser or diagonal. If you wish to use the imaging eyepiece with telescopes that require . 965" eyepieces, unthread the 1. 25" barrel and use the . 965" barrel underneath. Focus the image on the TV by using the telescope's focusing mechanism. If the imaging eyepiece does not reach focus, you may need to use an optional 1. 25" extension tube. Using the Contrast Wheel The camera in the electronic imaging eyepiece has a manual contrast adjustment; contrast is increased as you turn the contrast wheel (Figure 1) clockwise. Experiment with various positions of the contrast wheel to find the best image. Using the Optional Focal Reducer You may find that you wish to have a wider field of view when using your electronic imaging eyepiece. For this we recommend using the optional focal reducer (1. 6x).
