On p100 of the Sept issue of S&T is an article by Sean Walker
on photography through the 40mm PST.
Can any one identify the useful RA driven mount used as shown
on bottom left of p100 ? Better still where can it be gotten ?
Again does anyone recognise the particular adapter used to
connect the Canon Camera lens to an eyepiece, and again the
supplier ?

G'day Gerald, is that the American S&T? I've lost track of where the Australian ones (mags) are up to.

Yes, it's the american one. It did look pretty nifty, I was wondering where it come from myself - let us know when you find out, Gerald.

Advice is that the mount was made by Apogee but discontinued some years ago (pity - the article would have created a bit of a demand, Corando could do well to offer such a thing themselves). The camera adapter is a Digi-T from Scopetronix (stipulate Camera model and precise eyepiece to be used
when ordering).
