Sorry about that. This will give me an opportunity to try out the 0.965"
camera adapter that I bought last year. Tough item to find since everyone
migrated to 1.250" eyepieces. Even tougher is a wind-up clock drive, and I've
yet to find one of those. I did find a small 115VAC one that will work with
the little power inverter that plugs into the 12V accessory sockets.
If the weather cooperates I'll consider giving it a try this weekend.
