[Chaos-l] Refractors

[Robert Nielsen]

Michael,

What type of eyepiece holder and focuser does it have on it?   I've been 
thinking about getting something like this (in the future ... I have a 
banjo to purchase this year) and I was wondering how it would work for 
taking photographs, both with a DSLR and a CCD camera.   If we happen to 
get together some time ... I'd like to see how it works!
