-To use a Planetary camera, specifically our ZWO ASI183MC with ADC, remove the diagonal from the telescope (just like with a DSLR) and attach directly using the 2in adapter that is already mounted to the Planetary Camera. The camera will focus around **~~~** counts.+To use a Planetary camera, specifically our ZWO ASI183MC with ADC, remove the diagonal from the telescope (just like with a DSLR) and attach directly using the 2in adapter that is already mounted to the Planetary Camera.
