5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your NexYZ adapter, consider the following common solutions:

• Difficulty with Alignment: Ensure that the eyepiece is securely clamped and that your smartphone is firmly seated in the platform. The X, Y, and Z-axis adjustment knobs may require fine, incremental turns to achieve perfect alignment. If the adjustments feel loose, check for any tension adjustment screws on the adapter, as some models allow for tightening these mechanisms.
• Phone Not Stable: Verify that the spring-loaded phone platform is fully extended and gripping your phone securely. If your phone has a particularly thick case, it might affect the grip; try removing the case if stability is an issue.
• Vignetting (Dark Circle Around Image): This is common with some eyepiece and smartphone camera combinations. Adjusting the Z-axis (distance from the eyepiece) can help minimize vignetting. Cropping the image in post-processing is also a common solution.
• Image Blurry or Out of Focus: Ensure your optical instrument (telescope, binoculars, etc.) is properly focused. Then, use your smartphone's camera app to tap on the screen to focus on the image projected through the eyepiece.
