IIRC the only things Olympus made for astrophotgraphy use were the 1-8
focussing screen and the projection adaptor (I can't remember whether it
was prime focus or eyepiece projection) which fits into the telescope's
focusser. I was seriously impressed that they did these and would love
to get hold of them both just out of interest. You can buy these
adaptors pretty easily now from most scope manufacturers (or build them
from plastic tubes!). Olympus were (are) cool!
Best Wishes,
Gareth.

It looks like the binocular head for a microscope. There haven't been many
makers of binocular attachments for astronomical use, but they do exist.
