Attaching NexGO To Your Optic

NexGO is designed to work with many different optics, including telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and even microscopes.
All these optics have different size eyepieces. NGO’s clamp range can open from 25.4mm (1.0”) to 44.45mm (1.75”) to accommodate a variety of eyepieces.

Securing Your Phone on the Phone Bed

| Slowly release the spring-loaded arm to secure the phone in place.

NOTE:
We have included a booster to raise up smaller phones that measure less than 5” in length. If you need to use the booster, place it in the phone bed first, and then place
your phone on top of the booster.![CELESTRON 81036 NexGO Universal Smartphone
