Certainly not saying anything bad about the old Starlight express Mike, I've always heard they were exceptional cameras but I always had issues finding focus which I put down to my inexperience and possibly now thinking about it a spacing issue using a camera lens and adapter.
I've always wanted to get it operational, I should read the manual again, it was the only name I ever knew going from my SLR and I always wanted one and it was the first astronomy camera I ever bought (very old when I bought it but in amazing condition).
Plus I was always trying to achieve focus on distant mountains with the Starlight book suggesting landscape learning. Moving trees don't focus so well at higher zoom levels, it could have been that, it could have beenmany things including the possibility I'm just too stupid to use a good camera.
I still have it in it's original box with manual and cables and must try again one day, the unit looks in new condition and that's EXACTLY why I have not tried to modify putting a different camera sensor into the cooled body. I fix junk, I don't destroy good stuff, ever.
I'd rather give it to someone than risk destroying it.
