The front end of the scope with JMI MotoFocus, 5x Nagler Powermate, Orion manual filter wheel and PGR Flea3 camera.
Note that I turned up my own adapter that screws into the nose of the Flea3 and into the filter wheel, reducing the distance between the CCD chip & filters to the absolute minimum.

Note also that I have my modified 8x50 finder with ToUcam fitted, a normal 8x50 finder and Telrad all within easy reach of the focuser.

Also note the positioning of my Unibrain 800 fire repeater on the tube so that a short and light cable can be used to connect to the Flea3 rather than using the very long and heavy cable supplied by PGR,
