I was also thinking of the various Web cam, pulled down cheap digital cameras fitted to little balsa wood boxs with a tube of an eye piece fitted somehow.
I did a fair bit with those hand made units.
Oh a d the various attempts at cooling the camera.. Starting with the LPI, and scrapping cooler boxes to retrieve a peltie unit. You should have seen some of the set ups to cool thecamera.
When I built my first light tube (baffled extention to scope) I built it in cardboard and newspaper using flour and water for paste and the dog chewed to destruction.
