[ATM] camera

[Steve Messner]

Hi,
         I made a 6" f5  travel scope for occultation work using a 
video camera. The camera fits into a 1-1/4 tube that sits on top of a 
stalk on a sled type focuser. You can see a picture of it here;

It may be something similar to what you may be thinking. Steve
