Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion StarShoot All-In-One Astronomy Camera (SSAIO).

The SSAIO is a high speed CMOS camera designed for astronomical use.

The ultra fast frame rate (up to 200FPS in lowest resolution and up to 30FPS in highest resolution) makes the SSAIO ideal for Solar system imaging (Planets, Moon, Sun).

Long exposures of up to 10 Minutes make the SSAIO capable of imaging many of the Deep Space objects such as Galaxies, Nebulas, and Clusters.

The light weight, slim form factor, sensitivity and built in ST4 port make the SSAIO ideal for use as a guide camera.

By using the included finder bracket and 8mm lens the SSAIO becomes an advanced digital finder.

For those with an internet connection the SSAIO can also be used to broadcast live video over the internet when used with services such as Skype or www. nightskiesnetwork.com.

In summary the SSAIO can be used for the following purposes:

Planetary Imaging

Lunar Imaging

Solar Imaging

Terrestrial Imaging

Entry Level Deep Space Imaging

Wide Field Digital Finder

AutoGuiding

Live internet broadcasting

The SSAIO can even be used as a high resolution AllSky camera when used with an optional Fish Eye Lens with meteor detection and time-lapse software (sold separately, Item #52052 All-In-One AllSky Solution).

Par Focal Ring

Attach the ring to the body of the SSAIO and position as desired and lock using thumb screw. The ring aids in preventing the SSAIO from falling too far into a focuser and also helps to match the SSAIO focus position to an eyepiece. Focus first using your eyepiece, then replace eyepiece with SSAIO camera and move camera until near focus. Lock the ring at this position so that camera and eye- piece are now close to matching focus.

C Mount and CS mount adapters

Use the C mount adapter to attach nosepiece to camera.

Use the CS mount adapter to attach lenses such as the included 8mm Wide Angle lens or the Fish Eye lens (sold separately).

1.25" Nosepiece

Attach the 1.25" nosepiece to camera using the C mount adapter. This is the normal setup for using with a Telescope.
