Ok Neil I confess. It's my “butt ugly” finder/guide-scope using a long exposure SPC900NC in the little box. Discovered that if you screwed the standard SPC900NC lens almost all the way in and placed it directly against the Meade finders lens you could get very good focus. So took the SPC900NC lens off, placed it in the middle of the Meade lens and used silastic to set it in place then screwed the SPC900NC back on and focused on some stars. When I had exact focus, applied hot melt glue to set it in place. At the very least it's a good finder scope but I'm hoping to use it as a guide scope as well. At least whilst I'm practising guiding. Also have silver painted the side of the shed to minimise heat gain. See photos.
