Do you mean the Astro camera or the Astrographic camera James? The Astro camera was commonly called a sun and moon camera because it was more suited to to this type of imaging and was a relatively common item particularly in the States. The Astrographic camera on the other hand was suited to wide field imaging (at least back when) and not the least bit common and are very hard to obtain. The double eyepiece holder or Deutron as the americans like to call them weren't so common in Australia and are only useful on the moon and planets or bright stars. The rear diagonal lost a huge amount of light after it went through the first prism.


I've added some scans from my Polarex catalogues to show the 132E model scope and the accessories mentioned. I submitted scans of some of my Polarex/Unitron catalogues on "Classic Telescopes" geogdata.csun.edu/~voltaire/classics some while ago.
