USB Extension Cable

In many instances, it is likely a longer cable for the SSAIO will be needed in order to comfortably setup the telescope, camera, and computer.

(USB extension cable available through Orion, check the catalog or OrionTelescopes.com for more information).

Care and Maintenance

When the SSAIO is not in use, the dust cap should be replaced on the end of the nosepiece. This prevents dust from accumulating on the SSAIO’s optical window. The optical window should only be cleaned if significant dust builds up for if the window is touched. Any quality optical lens cleaning tissue and optical lens cleaning fluid specifically designed for multi-coated optics can be used to clean the glass surface of the SSAIO’s optical window. Never use regular glass cleaner or cleaning fluid designed for eyeglasses. Before cleaning with fluid and tissue, blow any loose particle off the surface with a blower bulb or compressed air. Then apply some cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on the optics. Wipe the optical surface gently in a circular motion, then remove any excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Use caution, rubbing too hard may cause scratches.
