YOU ARE NOW READY TO USE YOUR NexGO
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. NexGO’s clamp range can open from 25.4mm (1.0”) to 44.45mm (1.75”) to accommodate a variety of eyepieces.
- To attach NexGO to your eyepiece, fi rst open the clamp (if needed) by rotating the clamp knob.
- Then position the clamp over your eyepiece.
- Tighten the clamp and assembly onto the eyepiece by rotating the clamp knob clockwise.
Securing Your Phone on the Phone Bed
- Pull the spring-loaded arm on the phone bed outward.
- While holding the arm open, place your phone on the bed. Make sure the phone is resting fl at on the 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 fi
rst, and then place your phone on top of the booster.
Aligning Your Smartphone Camera
- Turn on your smartphone camera.
- Use the X and Y adjustment knobs to move your phone and adjust the fi eld of view until it is centered over the eyepiece.
NOTE: You may need to zoom in slightly to remove any dark edges or
“vignetting.”
You are now ready to shoot great images through your optics
