It could be a bracket that holds a computer or power box that is mounted on the dovetail of the scope. Maybe an integrated adapter such as a tilter and manual rotator all in one compact unit that would free up back focus space.
What ever it is, please, post your ideas here. I have the capacity to produce items in numbers, so this wouldn't be a one off custom design for each person, rather something that can be used on many setups.

A precise tilter and rotater that does not take up much backfocus sounds like a valuable adapter. It would have to be strong to handle weight without flex.
Basically anyone who uses these small pixelled CMOS cameras needs to adjust for tilt. Being also able to rotate without introducing tilt (some Tak CCAs have been known to introduce tilt) would be valuable for framing.
Full frame cameras need it most then the APSc sized then the smaller sensors. Fast scopes need it more than longer focal length scopes.
