outer ring got stuck in my skywatcher telescope

[Francois Lauzon]

hey guys ,

i really need your help on this one ..

yesterday i started getting great shots at jupiter ..

so i decided to use for the first time my barlow lens ,

i had my t2 ring adapter screwed on the telescope with my camera ..

but when i decided to unscrew the t-ring .. , the outer ring popped off .. leaving the metal inner ring still attached to the telescope connector ..

i called the shop this morning and he told me that probably the screws that held the inner and outer rings got loose ..

precision tools and screwing it back to the inner ring on the connector would to the trick ,

opinions ??

thanks a bunch

Yes - there are three tiny screws that hold the inner and outer rings together. Make sure you line them up before tightening them. The rings should then undo as one.

I think the shop is right, a jewellers srewdriver should do the trick .

This feature is intended to allow you to orientate the camera and then lock it in the required position.
