tube that attach the StarPointer finderscope.
2. Align the slotted holes on the piggyback mount with the
holes in the rear cell of the telescope.
3. For NexStar SE models - Place the StarPointer on top of
the piggyback adapter so that the holes on the
StarPointer bracket overlap the holes on the adapter.
(It may be easier to remove the StarPointer from its
bracket first).
4. Take the appropriate size screws included with the
adapter and insert them through the holes, tightening
them until the adapter is flush against the rear cell.
5. You are now ready to mount a camera or spotting scope
on top of the piggyback mount. To do this, locate the
threaded mounting hole on the bottom of your camera
or spotting scope. Place the camera or spotting scope
on the top of the piggyback adapter and thread in the
1/4 - 20 bolt and tighten.
