for example: you need to attach 21mm extender to ASI071 to reach 55mm back focus distance:17.5mm+21mm+16.5mm=55mm

2. Take off the guider prism part and attach OAG body to the telescope

3. Insert the prism part into the OAG body

4.  Mount the guide camera

5.   Screw the T2 or M48 adaper on the imaging camera according to your the mount type

6. Mount the camera on the OAG in correct position and lock the 3 screws

7. The final setup

Note: please make sure the prism won’t block the imaging area

Use the guiding screw to adjust the guiding camera’s focus.

You’d better do it at day time to make sure imaging camera and guiding camera can reach focus at the same position.
