Azi224 camera

[Beardy30]

Hi some advice please - 🙏 m trying to mount the asi224 to my diagonal and I’ve attached the T2 adapter- should there be a small gap ? And what is the small acre for please ? As I can’t seem to see it has any purpose???

Have you managed to screw the t mount onto the all sky lens?

As the lens is very wide angle this is incorrect, its purpose is for when imaging the skies with the camera alone.

To use with a scope to be used with a diagonal you unscrew the lens, and simply screw the t mount adaptor onto the camera, this then fits into the diagonal instead of an eyepiece. The lens you can then store away somewhere for safe keeping.

The t mount - not attached to the lens ? Sorry o don’t understand 

The t ring is too loose when not attached to the lens

On your image above, the black section attached to the camera marked CCTV lens with a measurement in mm after will unscrew from the camera body. The T ring and nosepiece will replace this section by screwing onto the camera body.

Be removed the small lens 

but the t ring far left in the picture seems too big and doesn’t fit

Also unscrew the black part that the lens screws into.

It may be a little snug but it will unscrew.

I’ve unscrewed the whole thing see below - the t ring in the left is still too big - should I also remove the black inner ring ?

Yes the black ring is a reducer for using 1.25” filters etc. Unscrew it and your T adapter will screw directly into the camera.

The two holes in the ring can be used to put something into, like a couple of screwdrivers of the right diameter, to give a little extra purchase and help unscrew it from the camera body.

Those holes go all the way through the ring, so careful that what you put into them doesn't scratch the paint on the camera.

Perfect - thanks everyone much appreciated 👍🏼
