objects, such as the Andromeda Galaxy or the Pleadies star cluster. Focal reducers will usually thread onto the nosepiece of the StarShoot Pro.

Barlow lenses increase the focal length of your telescope, which makes the camera’s field of view narrower (increases camera magnification). This is use- ful for planetary imaging. Keep in mind that when the focal length is doubled, the image will become four times dimmer, so a longer exposure may be nec- essary. Barlow lenses are generally inserted in the focuser’s drawtube and secured with the thumbscrew on the focuser’s drawtube, and the StarShoot Pro’s nosepiece is inserted into the barlow and secured with the thumbscrew on the barlow lens.

Filters

Any standard Orion 2" filter will thread into the 2" nosepiece of the StarShoot Pro. Light pollution filters, or special light pollution filters designed for imaging (such as the Orion SkyGlow Imaging Filter) improves image contrast from urban areas with severe light pollution.

USB Extension Cable

Most imaging setups may require extra distance to comfortably reach from StarShoot Pro to the computer. We recommend purchasing a 10' USB exten- sion cable if you need more cord length (available through Orion, check the catalog and/or www.OrionTelescopes.com).

Care and Maintenance

When the StarShoot Pro is not in use, the dust cap should be replaced on the end of the nosepiece. This prevents dust from accumulating on the StarShoot Pro’s optical window. If significant dust does accumulate on the optical win- dow, or the optical surface is touched, then it should be cleaned.

Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens cleaning fluid specifi- cally designed for multi-coated optics can be used to clean the glass surface of the StarShoot Pro’s optical window. Never use regular glass cleaner or cleaning fluid designed for eyeglasses.

Before cleaning with fluid and tissue, blow any loose particles off the surface with a blower bulb or compressed air. Then apply some cleaning fluid to a tis- sue, never directly on the optics. Wipe the optical surface gently in a circular motion, then remove any excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Oily fingerprints and smudges may be removed using this method. Use caution; rubbing too hard may cause scratches.

Store the StarShoot Pro in the included hard carrying case. Keep the camera in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
