Orion® 30mm Ultra-Mini Guide Scope

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.

Attaching your AutoGuider Camera

To attach a camera equipped with C-mount threads, such as the Orion StarShoot

AutoGuider Pro and StarShoot All-in-One, just thread the camera onto the C-mount

threads of the guide scope until it’s firmly attached, as in Figure 3. You do not need

to install the included 5mm (length) extension ring when using a C-mount camera.

If your camera has a CS mount, (check your camera’s user manual for the mount

specification), then you will need to use the 5mm extension ring (Figure 4) to

achieve focus through the 30mm guide scope. Thread the extension ring onto the

guide scope until tight, then thread your camera onto the extension ring until tight.

The underside of the bracket foot has a single 1/4"-20 threaded hole to allow direct

attachment of the bracket to a universal dovetail plate. For this you will need a

1/4"-20 screw of the appropriate length to pass through your universal plate and

into the bracket foot.

Focusing

To focus the image displayed on your computer by the camera, rotate the front

of the guide scope’s housing (Figure 2), making sure to loosen the focus lock

thumbscrew first. Once the desired focus sharpness is achieved, gently retighten

the thumbscrew to lock the focus.
