Hi Guys,

 

Yeah, I set up the equatorial mount and drive and the sun screen accessory. I didn't have an SLR camera with a detachable lens then. So I took the images off of the sun screen. The single "non sun screen" looking image was taken off of the back of the ground glass focusing screen of a Unitron astro-camera. The camera takes 3.25 x 4.25 inch glass plates which were hard to find then and if you found them, it cost a lot. I did use the camera in the 1980's with plastic 3.25 x 4.25 negatives. It is a bit awkward though. -Fred
