Hi Al and Ken, thanks for the links. I’m still waiting for SA to arrive and then it will be mechanical challenge to fit SA between the GStar camera and the lens. I’m modifying old Minolta 35mm and 50mm Rokkor lenses to T mount and somehow to fit barrel from old eyepiece so I can screw SA in optical train. I don’t know yet if it will achieve focus with SA. I will not be able to use existing CS 8mm as it will not focus with SA.
If it works out I hope to do better with CCD camera then what they were doing with photomultiplier tube and film camera.
