Gstar Ex and similar cameras - E-Z polar alignment system

This allows you to view using a Gstar Ex camera or I understand similar cameras [ watec, minitron etc], the reticule through the polar alignment scope of german equatorial mounts like the synta/skywatcher/celestron/orion series that have reticule etchings.

It's a nicely machined aluminium bracket and comes with a C mount video lens to attach to the camera. (Lens has its box but no caps for lens). Pictures to follow or visit Google gstar-ex polar e-z system which will take you to My Astro Shop's pictures of it and its set up. See picture below from My Astro Shop.

Never used by me and have just sold my Gstar Ex2 to another IIS member who already had this.

It has now been discontinued and I can't remember original price but I see that one went recently on IIS for $70 posted and that seems a fair price to me. So $70 posted within Australia it is.

Hope I've posted this in right place.
