and Clusters.

Par Focal Ring
Attach the ring to the body of the SAGPRO and position as desired and
lock using thumb screw. The ring aids in preventing the SAGPRO from
falling too far into a focuser and also helps to match the SAGPRO focus
position to an eyepiece. To do this first focus as normal using your eye-
piece, then replace the eyepiece with the SAGPRO camera and move
SAGPRO manually by hand until image from camera is in focus. Lock
the ring at this position so that camera and eyepiece are now close to
matching focus.
1.25" Nosepiece
Attach the 1.25" nosepiece to the SAGPRO. The nosepiece is fitted with
filter threads.
