Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Lumicon Deluxe Piggyback Mount. The Lumicon Deluxe Piggyback Mount allows you to mount cameras having ¼-20 threaded mounting holes onto medium and large telescopes. It is adjustable in azimuth and altitude, thus allowing you to align your camera with the optics of your main telescope.

2. Place the mounting base at the desired location on your telescope’s main tube. On Scmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, use existing mounting holes/screws. For Newtonians, use the two 8-32 screws/nuts provided. 3. Remove the plastic knob with the ¼-20 bolt from its storage position near the middle of the flat mounting plate and reinsert it up-side-down through the hole closest to the end.
