Included Items

• 30mm Ultra-Mini guide scope

• Dual-ring mounting bracket

• 5mm CS/C extension ring

• Aluminum objective cap

• Plastic camera-end cap

Your Ultra-Mini Guidescope (Figure 1) is designed for use with the Orion

StarShoot AutoGuider Pro Mono and StarShoot All-in-One cameras, or similar

eyepiece-sized cameras with female C or CS mount threads (cameras sold sep-

arately). The guide scope is ideal for astrophotographic guiding with short focal

length instruments.

The dual-ring bracket has a dovetail foot (see Figure 2) that is compatible with

Orion dovetail finder scope mounting shoes, as well as those of many other tele-

scope brands. Insert the guide scope into the rings from the back (threaded) end

and secure it with the two thumbscrews. Then insert the bracket foot into the com-

patible finder scope mounting shoe on your telescope or mounting plate.
