Optional Eyepieces The Regal M2 Series spotting scopes were designed to use optional 1.25" eyepieces. Celestron offers a wide selection of 1.25" eyepieces for use on your spotting scope to achieve higher magnifications, wider fields of view, etc. Balance Plate (for the 100 mm model) The Regal M2 100 mm spotting scope comes with a balance plate to properly balance the spotting scope when attached to a tripod (Fig. 9). To use the balance plate, mount it to the tripod's ¼"-20 mounting screw using the ¼"-20 threaded hole located on the bottom of the plate. Attach the spotting scope to the balance plate using the ¼"-20 mounting screw located on the top of the plate and thread it into the spotting scope as far as it will go. Slide the spotting scope along the slotted portion of the plate until the spotting scope is balanced on the tripod. Tighten the locking ring to hold the spotting scope in the desired position. ¼"-20 Threaded Hole (not shown) ¼"-20 Mounting Screw Locking Ring Mounting Screw Fig. 9 Digiscoping The Regal M2 spotting scopes can be used for digiscoping with SLR cameras and point-and-shoot digital cameras. Please note that not all cameras are compatible for digiscoping and in some cameras vignetting (a circular image surrounded by black) will occur. Point-and-shoot cameras with an optical zoom of 3x or 4x tend to be the most compatible with the least amount of vignetting. Most photographs will be the sharpest and brightest when using the lowest magnification on the zoom eyepiece. 6
