AstronSCIENTIFIC ROTARION EyepieceWheel Manual de usuario
Congratulations on your purchase of ROTARION!
ROTARION is designed and manufactured to be used
for daytime terrestrial observation and for nighttime
astronomical observation.
ROTARION is a unique device, patented in the
European Union and the United States, to be used
with any telescope with a 2" focuser and four of your
favorite 1.25" eyepieces.
For the first time ever, you can change the power or
magnification of your telescope with just a simple
click, connecting your ROTARION remotely to a
Windows computer with the ROTARION REMOTE
CONTROL software included in this box.
ROTARION makes the eyepiece change easy.
Automatic, quick, and precise without touching the
telescope therefore avoiding disturbances in the
positioning or misalignment of the optical axis
between eyepieces. No more searching in the dark
for your next eyepiece!
The automatic eyepiece change allows you to adjust
the correct magnification on your telescope by
increasing or decreasing the focal length of the
eyepiece used, the "zoom effect".
Re-locate lost objects out of the field of view due to
improper alignment or poor tracking of the
telescope. Quick change to your largest eyepiece in
mm number to maximize visual field and re-locate.
All with a simple Click!
And with the Rotarion automatic eyepiece change
you can use higher power eyepieces than you ever
had before. Now you can discover the joy of bigger
and better views with higher magnification!
ROTARION is a device of the highest quality,
designed and manufactured in BARCELONA with
state-of-the-art techniques and the best materials
and components from the US, Japan, and Germany.
First, read this Instruction Manual and follow the
assembly instructions step-by-step. If you follow the
assembly instructions correctly, even if the assembly
is initially laborious, the use of ROTARION is very
simple and easy.
All this to offer you many hours of enjoyment
observation, and satisfaction with your telescope.
Maximum quality, universal, versatile, and easy to
use, ROTARION continues our corporate mission:

A-ROTARION
The EyepieceWheel
1. Introduction
Change the power-magnification of your telescope with a
simple Click.
The AstronSCIENTIFIC’s ROTARION EyepieceWheel is a
universal and automatic eyepiece exchanger. You can
automatically quick-change eyepieces and any other
optics. The eyepiece change is easy, fast, and accurate,
without touching the telescope, and therefore avoiding
disturbances or deviations in the positioning of the optical
axis of the telescope.
2. Selecting your eyepieces for the
ROTARION
Choose 4 of your favorite eyepieces based on a scaling
provided by the mm indicated in each eyepiece. From a
large field of view eyepiece, with the lowest magnification
and greatest number in mm, to the eyepiece with smaller
number in mm, smaller field of view and greater
magnification. It is important that the intermediate scaling
between the mm of each eyepiece is as proportional as
possible.
Example:
As you observe in the data sheet on the following page,
you have 6 available 1.25" eyepieces with different
magnifications (mm) and you select 4 eyepieces so that the
scaling of the magnification between them is as
proportional as possible.
When selecting a proportional scaling, you ensure that
when you order the ROTARION to change an eyepiece, the
next eyepiece will always show you the object you are
observing.
CAUTION: ROTARION is designed to accept 1.25”
eyepieces with a maximum 50mm outer/external
diameter. Depending on combinations with other smaller
outside diameter eyepieces, you may exceed the
maximum outside diameter of 50mm at your discretion
and your responsibility.
3. Mounting your eyepieces in the
ROTARION
Remove the ROTARION from the box and observe the 4
ports:
•Port [PORT-1], 12 hours of a traditional clock (A).
•Port [PORT-2], 3 hours of a traditional clock (B).
•Port [PORT-3], 6 hours of a traditional clock (C).
•Port [PORT-4], 9 hours of a traditional clock (D).

Once the 2 eyepieces with the greatest and the smallest
number of mm and the 2 intermediate have been selected
according to their best proportional scaling, you will align
them from lower magnification (largest mm) to higher
magnification (smallest mm) to verify their differences in
height between them.
The difference in heights between the eyepieces should be
compensated by combining the 5mm, 10mm, and 20mm
M42v0,75 Extenders supplied in the ROTARION threaded
to 3 of the 4 supplied Baader Click-Locks.
You select the largest height eyepiece (in this case the
17mm) corresponding to position number 3 in the series of
4 eyepieces on this page, we will place it in port [PORT-3]
of the ROTARION, corresponding to the Hour 6 of a
traditional clock, unscrewing first the "Extenders"
mounted under the Baader Click-Lock.
1. Unscrew Extenders from 5mm, 10mm and 20mm of
the Baader Click-Lock.
